2. What you, your employer and the government pay
If you pay Income Tax, the government will add money to your workplace pension in the form of tax relief.
However, even if you don’t pay Income Tax, you’ll still get tax relief if your pension scheme uses relief at source to add tax relief to your pension pot.
Your employer may also add money. A new law (‘automatic enrolment’) means that employers will have to pay in to eligible workers’ pension schemes - check if it applies to you.
