For Scottish taxpayers, the usual tax relief rules will apply. Taxpayers on the starter rate of 19% as well as those on other income tax bands are eligible to receive the 25% government top-up on their pension contributions.

For taxpayers on the 21%, 41% and 46% rate bands, additional tax relief can be claimed through a self-assessment tax return or by contacting HMRC.
