    I guess the pension income can not fund another pension(!?)...but can I use the other income streams to invest in a SIPP?

    Question by Gary

    Regarding SIPPs. What funds can be used to fund one? I’m 61.

    My income streams are:
    - workplace final salary pension
    - rental income from a let property
    - dividend from my own company (not currently trading).

    Hi Gary,

    You can contribute to pensions if you have relevant UK earnings - this means it must be earned income rather than other forms of income such as the rental, investment or pension income you have mentioned.

    Hope this helps!
