But in the end people were making so much money on house prices rises it was felt tax relief as well was too much.
If you pay into a pension like AVC this comes off your salary BEFORE tax is paid (so £100 in your pension means a REAL £100 in your pension).
This will also reduce your taxable salary so may take you out of a higher tax bracket.
