"A couple of mine are due in about 18 months, not a lot of cash and it would probably be better as a lump sum than trying to live on it... So, what are my options? What is the limit you can take as a lump sum and the tax there on? I'm not looking to reinvest unless it's into a business or something that will provide an income, the rest to pay the usual debts off! So advice on pensions and or ideas on a small business.... Over to you, I'll get my own popcorn! No one can advise you with that information. You need a financial adviser." absolutely this. Please please seek advice from a specialist adviser. Not saying it applies here but my big fear now that people can take lump sums out of their pensions is that we'll have a generation of 'poverty pensioners' in a decade or two after they've spent all of their lump sums and their remaining pension isn't enough to live on | |||

" if you phone the pension your with/were with they can advise you, I think you may have already paid tax on your pension, not 100% on that though! The pension holder is you best place to start as they will supply you with you figures you need, I think if your over 55 they may supply you with the info. Ps that drop in the ocean combined with state pension might be a little more than you expect. Good luck & Check the government pension website for advice! | |||

"Ok... As a lump sum, how much can I withdraw tax free and what are the tax bands thereafter?" there's a calculator on the gov web site, like I said, you need to know how much you have paid in etc | |||

"Ok... As a lump sum, how much can I withdraw tax free and what are the tax bands thereafter?" 25% tax free. The usual tax bands apply thereafter. This was my experience. | |||

The rest is then taxed alongside any other income in that year, so you might go into the higher tax band. | |||
