Withdrawing all UK pension (non state) for non-UK resident
Hi, I am a Singaporean who left UK in 2003 after my UK employment ended. I have been residing in Singapore since then. I understand that as a non-UK resident I don't need to pay tax on my pension. (https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-pension/tax-when-you-live-abroad#:~:text=If%20you're%20not%20a,be%20taxed%20in%20the%20UK.) I just turned 55 years old this September and understand that I can withdraw 25% tax-free lumpsum from my pension. However, I am considering withdrawing the remainder 75%. Will I be taxed on this 75%? If not, how do I apply(if needed) for non-tax code? Thanks, Frederick
