Should the relief one gets from the revenue for pension be shown on tax relief form as pension or what way is it seen on tax relief form
 
I'm assuming, based on previous posts, that your pension contributions are deducted from your salary?

If so, then relief is granted at source, therefore it will not appear on your Notice of Determination of Tax Credits and Standard Rate Cut-Off form
 
Look at your payslip. If (as is usual) your employer deducts the pension contributions before applying tax to your gross earnings then the relief won't separately show up on your statement of tax credits.

It will only appear on the statement of tax credits if you have applied for it in respect of pension contributions made from net income. (If you do this then you'll also need to claim PRSI/health contribution relief separately at the end of the year - see the key posts). Pension contributions made via payroll should get tax and PRSI/health contribution relief at source by being deducted from gross before tax and PRSI/health contribution deductions are calculated.
 
Thanks again , I really do find this site great thanks to all
 
Are your pension contributions deducted via payroll and remitted by your employer to an occupational pension fund or PRSA?
 
Yes this is the case, The company say they deduct pension before I am taxed,

It should be clear whether or not they do this from your payslips and P60.
