In 2023/24, UK govt gave £78.2bn tax relief on pension contributions.
32% benefitted 29.2m basic rate (20%) taxpayers.
68% went to higher and additional rate (40% and 45%) tax payers.
Equalizing tax relief at 20% to all, leaves govt £14.5bn spare to alleviate poverty.

Dividends are taxed at marginal rates of 8.75%, 33.75%, and 39.35%, no national insurance is levied.
Wages taxed at 20%-45% +NIC.
Aligning taxation of dividends with wages could raise £6bn a year. Even higher if national insurance is also charged.
