Can you contribute to two different SIPPs in the same tax year?

Embarrassing question but it hadn't even occurred to me you might not be able to do this?  Are you allowed to contribute to two SIPPs in the same tax year?  Specifically, salary sacrifice into one and personal contribution into the other?

Thanks

Absolutely, as long as you stay within your AA (or take advantage of carry forward).

Edited to add, and also within the limit of your income for that tax year.

Yes you can, there’s nothing stopping you from doing this.

SIPPs don’t have the same restrictions as ISAs.

Yes.  No problem at all.  You just need to keep within your AA and any carry forward.  You're the one responsible for ensuring compliance, not the SIPP provider.

Maybe being a bit pedantic, but to be factually correct, you can contribute to multiple DC pensions in a year.
They could be a SIPP,  or a personal pension, or a stakeholder pension, or a workplace pension etc

Yes, but other people read these threads, and SIPP tends to be a bit of a catchall  term.

Specifically two SIPPs in this case. I'd always presumed there was no issue paying into two in the same tax year but I read a post on a different forum saying you couldn't so wanted to check.
