I am about to wrap up my Ltd and looking at shut down options. Am I correct that I can pay more than £40K into my SIPP if I have unused allowance from the last 3 years ? Is there any drawback to doing this that I am missing ? ( other than the money is tied up in the pension pot )

Just be aware you have done your calcs, otherwise you will be taxed. The amount is based upon tax year not your company year.
Although as correctly you have stated the money is tied up - major benefits are further reductions in CT.
If you can afford it, it's worth it.
Few years ago, wasn't earning enough to put into the pension pot, so allowance remained. Now on a good contract have used the full £40K allowance for this tax year and now using the carry back.
Hope that helps.Comment
