My calculations are 243k-2k (personal allowance)= 241k taxable income. So if pension tax relief is claimed basic rate will be £158k. My quesions how to use annual pensional allowance of 40k carry forward from last 3 years each? When tax relief is mentioned on pension document is it ok to increase basic tax rate Or need to check some thing else as well? Right i am getting tax credit of 20k in my calculations. This is personal single payment contribution in the year.

You will need to calculate the annual allowance for the 3 prior years which may also be £10k if the income was similar. A charge will arise if the annual allowance was exceeded.
You also need to check the earnings each year since, if most of the income is dividends and a low salary, then the maximum gross pension contribution would be limited to the earnings (the salary).
Did they take advice before making the payment?
And what £2K personal allowance? (Or are you referring to the dividend NIL rate band, which is not a deduction from income).

Could be but with exact figures it could equally be Personal Allowance due to a much reduced ANI (in comparison to the taxable income).
Please would you confirm you have seen my earlier post, I believe there is a pension charge which is either paid through the tax return or the pension scheme.
