    Yes they - HL - now can.

    You can do now.

    SEND THE PAYMENT TO:
    • Bank Account Number: 03310401
    • Sort Code: 30 - 92 - 13
    • Account Name: HLAM SIPP Trustee Vantage Client A/C
    • Reference: Employee’s surname and either their client number or National Insurance number
    Linky

    You need to send them an email advising of the payment. Saves paying bank fees on the cheque too.

    I just started a SIPP with a personal contribution.
    I then make company contributions by sending in a cheque and the form from the 'topup' option in the link:-

    Realistically I'd probably only make a couple each year, the main flow is via dividents into S&S ISAs, this is just to hammer the expensesreduce the tax burden on MyLtdCo, although I appreciate tax is payable on drawdown.
    I send a covering letter on company headed paper. "Please find enclosed cheque as employer contribution for Fanny Adams. " Never been a problem so far.

    They then send both me and myCo letters to say it has been done.

    Or does it have to be a regular Direct Debit to show it's a Directors Pension? I might be a Permie in 5 years and have to fund it another way.

    So basically can I just get the SIPP set up/transferred from old PermieCo Company Pension, and worry about contributions when all the dust has settled and I know what MyLtdCo can contribute?

    TIA
