DB & SP recycling?

I'm 67, am in receipt of a DB company pension and state pension; I'm wondering whether I can pay the equivalent of these two incomes combined into a new SIPP, or are there other constraints?

  • What pensionable earnings (wages, business profits) do you have in the current tax year?

    The constraint is that you need 'earnings', and pensions don't count for that purpose. You can pay in up to £2,880 (and get tax added to your 'pot' at basic rate - the provider claims it on your behalf) even if you don't have any earned income.
  • Thanks, guys - I see it applies to 'earned' income only, except for the £2880 opportunity. Glad I asked, it helps cure my ignorance....
