SIPP pension funds

24, Northumberland Street, Westminster, London, WC2N 5DB

SIPP is a self invested personal pension that can help you invest for your retirement and allows you to take advantage of the tax incentives currently available.

   

Introduced in 1989 by Nigel Lawson, Sipps give you more control over a personal pension than if you invest solely via a pension company. Even people in occupational pension schemes will be able to start one.

Alternative to a SIPP pension investment

You can invest in a SIPP even if you are already an active member of an employer's pension scheme. SIPP allows you to choose when, how much and where to invest according to your circumstances and needs at any particular time.

Since April 2006 the maximum contribution upon which tax relief can be claimed is £215,000 or your earnings, whichever is the lower. From 6 April 2006, for the first time, HM Revenue and Customs will permit a tax-approved SIPP pension scheme to invest in property.

You will be able to invest in commercial property,  A Sipp is most suitable for self-employed people who are enjoying good incomes.
