    Do I need to self-declare income from a SIPP?

    21 June 2024

    Question by Boring Money reader

    Hi,

    I have some ISAs which do not need to be declared on the self-assessment tax declaration form, and also a SIPP. Does the latter need to be declared and if so will the private company inform me of the amount that needs to be declared?

    Thanks.

    Private pension investments grow tax-free, similar to your ISA, so you don’t need to declare their performance on your tax return. You should declare the contributions you have made personally to the SIPP as that attracts Income Tax savings.

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.

    Risk warningAs is always the case with investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
