Low Income Pension Contributions

If my only income is from a small private pension via UFPLS (Total £12k = £3k tax free and £9k taxable) hence I pay not tax at all, how much am I permitted to put back into the pension each year and get tax relief/repaid within a recognised provider scheme that applies relief at source?

Hi,
You cannot pay the lump sum into another pension as this is pension recyclying and not allowed.

Thank you

Thanks for the response. I understand the £3k PCLS cannot be returned to the pension. I note that this is below the £7.5k threshold mentioned in PTM133810. Does this mean that the £9k that is taxable, but is covered by the income tax allowance could be returned to the pension? Alternatively, could £2880 be returned to the pension, since this is what has been contributed in the past?

Hi,
You can see the following guidance and discuss returning the funds with your pension provider:
