A » In the UK, a tax allowance, such as the Personal Allowance, is an income amount not subject to tax, reducing taxable income. Tax relief, like pension contributions relief, reduces the tax owed by allowing deductions or credits for specific expenses. Both mechanisms serve to decrease the overall tax liability but apply differently to income or expenditures.
