Thanks very much. The deductions were taken from my gross pay, but as it was a UK Approved SIP I paid the tax when I sold the shares as I hadn't held them for 5 years

As above, I've just retired, I haven't reached state pension age but will not be working again, and as I had not held my SIP for 5 years the proceeds were paid out via my payroll. Is this amount classed as relevant earnings for any SIPP contributions I may wish to make this year?
