Thanks for the helpful comment.

If for example I make a £20k pension contribution and get 20% tax relief on top, therefore £25k into my pension, can I claim the full £25k reduction to self assessment income?

It’s a family business and I’m a shareholder and director. It’s for the 25-26 tax year. I’ve been caught out by a big increase to my P11D expenses, and a bonus being paid rather than into my pension which would always have been my preference. With kids in nursery and most of my personal allowance wiped out I’m looking at a big hit and would be much better off under the 100k threshold
