Taxation on pensions and contribution restrictions
Hi, Can I take my 25% tax free from a defined contribution pension, leave the remaining 75% and then start a new DC pension, contributing up to £60,000 per year? Then I assume I can take another 25% tax free from the new pension. -
Taxation on pensions and contribution restrictions
I would like to check the rules around accessing pensions. I am 55 and have a defined contribution pension that both myself and employer contribute to. Can I access the 25% tax free lump sum and leave the balance crystallised without drawing down and then open a fresh DC pension (with the same provider) and continue to contribute up to £60,000 per year, which would then generate another tax free amount of 25%? Advice on this is difficult to find but from research this seems to be within the rules.
