  • Timing of workplace pension contributions

    Payroll runs at my employer's on the 25th of the month. They pay my (and their) workplace pension contribution on the 22nd of the following month. Income tax relief is given at source by the pension provider/HMRC. Due to other issue with my affairs I do a self-assessment every year. For the payroll run on 25 March 2025 would the employee contribution be treated as being in the 2024/25 tax year (when it is withheld from my pay) or in 2025/26 (when it is paid to the pension provider)?
