My wife retired this year (September) now receiving a DB pension, having earned approximately £10K in income this tax year. I'd like to gift her some money to pay into her SIPP. I believe her pension annual allowance for this year will be £10K, so I think I can just work out how much pension she has contributed in her DB scheme from April to September and the remainder I could contribute into her SIPP. She also has unused allowances from previous tax years, but I'm unsure as to whether I can use these to contribute more? Please could you clarify? Thanks

Hi ,
 
Please have a look a the guidance at :

Check if you have unused annual allowances on your pension savings  ,

which includes a calculator. 

If there is a surplus, this can be added to the threshold for the tax year in question and the new threshold
used for tax relief on the pension payments.

Thank you .
