    will look into starting a SIPP pension after I have retired.
    You can only contribute to a SIPP up to the amount of your earned income per tax year, or £3660 gross (you pay £2880 to which the taxman adds £720), whichever is higher. Up to age 75.

    Pension income does not count as earned income.

       Sorry started another thread about this before I saw your reply.
