How is adjusted net income reduced? Is it simply because the tax band is increased via the SIPP contribution

Already answered earlier in this thread, so why not re-read and all should be clear? If not, time to pay for some advice - nobody here can do any more to assist you, I'm afraid.

You’ve had one of the most knowledgeable contributors to this forum go out of their way to explain it to you.

If you’re still unable to grasp the information given to you might I suggest paying for some tailored advice using an IFA. 

If you’re earning upwards of 100k pa I’m sure you can afford it and may help to avoid any costly errors on your part, it’ll be money well spent.

Kind regards DH

Especially when no thanks have been given to the many questions.

I took advice on board and reached out to HMRC. They said the SIPP contribution would increase basic rate tax band.

However, I did not get a clear answer on how this would protect my personal allowance. If your income from all sources and interesting on savings is say 103k, how would the SIPP contribution of £2500 allow for protection of full personal allowance of £12,570.

Thanks for link - Hmrc said your adjusted net income is being reduced as the 20% tax band has increased but I don't understand how thats the case reading that guidance. Surely all an increase in 20% tax band is doing is making more of your income be taxed at 20% rather than 40%.

We seem to be going in circles. If you reread the whole of this thread the question has been answered fully.

Fair comment, I have re read whole thread. Here is my understanding and demonstrated using example:

Total income from self employment, employment and savings = £100,110

SIPP investment = £2000 + £500 relief = £2500

Adjusted income - £100,110 - £2500 = £97,610 

Taxable income = £97610 - £12570



Please tell me I have finally got this right. If I am incorrect, I will go and get professional help.

Anyone got a view on my calculations?

I don't think that's right, you receive tax relief at 20% when you make the contribution, you won't get it again on your tax return, which is what you'd end up with by subtracting the contribution off your total earnings. Instead it would increase the threshold for Basic Rate so more of you income is taxed at 20%, and less at 40%. This gives you back the other 20% tax.
