Do UK capital gains (or losses) need to be added to income for tapering pension allowances?

When calculating the threshold income and adjusted income for tapering the pension allowance, should we add capital gains in the tax year to the other forms of taxable income (i.e. salary, savings interest) etc? Thanks.

Hi Joseph K,
"No. Capital Gain is quite separate from income and should not be included when working out income in any way.
 By law, Capital Gains Tax is always calculated after income tax has been calculated and is a separate calculation.
Thank you.
