Tax relief on Private pension contributions

alsace-dave

As a non tax payer & over 55 years old, am I able to pay in the maximum £2880 out of my savings into a SIPP, get the 20% tax relief, then drawdown the full amount of it including the tax relief?

Yes, have a read of this thread and keep an eye out for any charges.

If you have no relevant earnings, then you can pay up to £2880 into a SIPP and the provider will then claim 20% tax relief.

You can take 25% tax free - the balance will be taxed as income in the tax year you withdraw it.

If together with other income (from a pension for example), this took you over your Personal Allowance (s), then you would end up paying tax.

You can also do the same thing and pay the same amount into a partners pension if they don't have any earnings.
