Hi there.
I have realised that I have not been entering the gross amount of pension contributions (i.e. my persona contributions plus the tax relief) on my tax return for as long as I can remember.
Is it possible to retrospectively claim back the relief for those previous years?
If so, is there a limit on how far back any retrospective claim can go?
Many thanks.

Hi Tafkars, 
Please see guidance at: Tax on your private pension contributions: Tax relief.
Normal time limit is Guidance around years that you are able to claim is covered at: SACM12155 - Overpayment relief: Time limits for making a claim - HMRC internal manual
Thank you
