The HMRC replies are not particularly helpful. The original poster does not ask about the taxation of lump sum withdrawals from RRIF/RRSP. They ask about periodic pension payments which are different. My understanding is that because of the tax treaty between CANADA/UK, periodic RRIF pension payments within the rules (greater of 10% RRIF value or 2 x annual minimum based on age) are NOT subject to 25% non-resident tax by Canada, just income tax in UK.
