 You can pay a maximum percentage of    
 "net relevant earnings" to a personal  
 pension scheme and get tax relief.     
                                        
 The maximum figure of "net relevant    
 earnings" on which you can base your   
 payment is £78,600 in the year to 5    
 April 1996 (£82,200 in 1996/97).       
                                        
 You can also pay a maximum percentage  
 of "net relevant earnings" to an       
 existing retirement annuity scheme. In 
 this case there is no maximum figure of
 earnings on which the payments are     
 based.
