You're employed full-time, but you can still register to claim back higher rate pension relief. Here's exactly what to do.

Enter the gross value of your personal pension contributions (the amount after basic rate relief is added). For example, if you paid in £800, your provider will have claimed £200 relief — enter £1,000 as the gross contribution.
If your pension is a "relief at source" scheme and you only need to claim higher rate relief, you may be able to do this via a simple letter or phone call to HMRC (0300 200 3300) rather than a full return. Worth asking when you call.
