What are the tax benefits for contributing to a pension?

When you make a payment to your pension the government pays in an additional 20% in pension tax relief. Vanguard will reclaim this on your behalf. This turns an £80 contribution into £100. If you pay above the basic rate of 20%, you may claim further tax relief via your self-assessment tax return.

Savings in your pension grow without capital gains or income tax.
