Why use a tax-advantaged SIPP account at Barclays?

Overall:

  • All SIPPs include a government contribution - meaning your deposit will be topped up by 20% e.g. turning a £100 investment into £120.
  • Your investments through an SIPP will benefit from tax-free growth, meaning you won't have to pay income taxes on your gains or dividends.
