Right. To the extent that this uncertainty exists at all, would you agree that it is completely irrelevant to the OP's question and that you can now drop this topic entirely?

As the status of the SIPP for US tax treatment is a topic of continued discussion in many places, I'd like to see the UK SIPP providers arguments and filings to the IRS. The OP is insulated from this, but those arguments would be very interesting to US citizens and residents with SIPPs.
