Redundancy pay paid to pension - self assessment

I am completing my self-assessment tax return for a year in which I received a redundancy payment greater than £30K. The amount in excess of £30K was put directly into my pension by my payroll department. Is this amount subject to tax? And how do I reflect this on a self-assessment tax return?

Hi
Any part of a lump sum redundancy payment that comes from salary, bonuses, PILON, or holiday pay does count as relevant UK earnings. However, only the part of the actual redundancy payment over the tax-exempt threshold of £30,000 will be classed as employment income and count as relevant UK earnings.
To pay the full redundancy payment into the pension as an personal contribution, the individual needs to have enough relevant UK earnings from a source other the redundancy payment to cover the full payment.

Hi HMRC Team, I was made redundent last year and a lumpsum was paid directly to company DC where i had worked 25 years. The amount was in excess of AA for 23-24 and even higher than my 23-24 salaary however, teh amount was way below my current years AA+last 3 years AA as my cntributions in last 3 years have been very less. Company has provided me with Pension saving statement and asked that i share these details with HMRC via self assessment. I am not able to work out what figures need to go where in self assessment. I have been doing SA for last few years however contributing to pension first time as a result f teh redundency, Please can one guide,

Hi,
Please have a look at the guidance on unused annaul allowances on your penion savings.  
If this is a new pension scheme you have started, then you will not have any unused allowance to carry forward.  
This means that your tax free pension payment will be the lower of £60,000 or your earned income in the tax year.  
Any payment into the pension scheme, above this amount is a 'pension savings tax charge' and is declared in box 10 on page Ai4 of SA101 (Additional information (2024)).  
Your pension provider may agree to pay the tax out of your pension pot and if the do, you declare the amount of tax they will pay on your behalf in box 11.  
Please tick yes to the question "Are you liable to pension savings tax charges or have you received payments from overseas pension schemes?" on page 2 of 3, when tailoring your return. 
Thank you.
