Relief at source
Pension scheme gets basic-rate tax relief automatically; you claim higher-rate via SA.
Relief at source is how most personal pensions work: 20% basic-rate relief is added by the scheme automatically. Higher- and additional-rate taxpayers claim the extra (20% or 25%) via Self Assessment.
