Hello, I am a director and owner of my own limited company, and I'd like to make a large contribution to my SIPP. I read the MoneyHelper guidance on this (https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/pensions-and-retirement/tax-and-pensions/carry-forward) and it says: "If the money is to be paid into your pension as a company contribution, then any amount can be paid into the pension, without you needing to have corresponding earnings for Income Tax purposes as long as the contributions meet the ‘wholly and exclusively’ test." Also, if my salary is £9,100, and my dividends are £30k, can my company pay more than my salary amount (£9100) into my pension, as I know you can only pay in 100% of your earnings (dividends don't count) into your pension, before you are taxed for going above this limit. There is a lot of conflicting guidance online about this. It appears from the quote above from MoneyHelper that I can. Thank you
