As a non tax payer & over 55 years old, am I able to pay in the maximum £2880 out of my savings into a SIPP, get the 20% tax relief, then drawdown the full amount of it including the tax relief?

If you have no relevant earnings, then you can pay up to £2880 into a SIPP and the provider will then claim 20% tax relief.
You can take 25% tax free - the balance will be taxed as income in the tax year you withdraw it.
If together with other income (from a pension for example), this took you over your Personal Allowance (s), then you would end up paying tax.0 -
You can also do the same thing and pay the same amount into a partners pension if they don't have any earnings.I'm a Chartered Financial Planner. Trying to be helpful without giving advice.0
