Not sure, I'm a Snr guy with 20plus yrs service. Going to a competitor could be expensive for them. I'll sign a non compete or similar in return, I hope we can agree something for sure.

Could anyone explain how tax is calculated from flexible SIPP withdrawals please? I can’t find an online calculator that covers the scenario.
Assume income from SIPP only.
If in year 1 of retirement I withdraw £28000 then can I take £7000 as the 25% lump sum, and is the personal allowance of £12570 also applied?
I.e. is tax only paid on £28k - £7k - £12.57k? The online calculators seem to disregard the personal allowance.
Thanks!
28000 withdrawn
7000 tax free
12500 personal allowance approx.
20% tax is paid on approx. £9000?
From original £28000 there is about £1800 tax to pay?

Assume you start taking it on the first day of the new tax year then that is exactly how it works.
Yup
Honestly, best thing I've ever done

Assumes of course that you take this at the beginning of a tax year or in a year when you have had no other income.

Made up for you Mate.
Now comes the weekly countdown which slows it all down

As a few have noted. All about the tax year and you only pay tax on benefits above £12,570. You don’t have to take the 25% tax free benefit all at once.
Been retired a few weeks now, it’s f#cking fantastic tbh.
Even when it’s cold and miserable you are not at work.

Just a heads up for anyone with a Vanguard SIPP.
When you want to move money from pre retirement to drawdown you now can't pick which fund to take the money from, it comes from each fund proportionately.
It isn't a massive problem it just means you'll need to move your money around once the transactions are completed to rebalance your funds, but you will be out of the market for maybe a week or so, so it could work for or against you.
Seems to be a bit of a chew on for what was quite a simple task

This may (will) be a dumb question.
I have a final salary pension pot that I can take when I’m 65 or whatever it is. I can elect to take a 25% lumper now as I’m over 55 which reduces the pension.
Instead of 25% can I elect to take say 5% tax free now to pay for something then the rest of the tax free bit in installments. This all pre retirement?

I have a vanguard SIPP but I might do some investigation to see which provider is recommended for the withdrawal phase. it’s mainly hypothetical I.e. how to withdraw approx. £2k per month net for 3 years until I take another pension.

I would think not but each DB scheme my be different. I think you can only take the tax free when you start the pension, someone on here who is more familiar with DB pensions will be able to tell you

Thank you. As per your suggestion earlier in the thread then I would take e.g. £7k lumper then £21k over 12 months.
I was going to take about £17k per year from SIPP to avoid tax and supplement with savings etc.
But I will need to deplete and pay some tax from the SIPP eventually as I have a DB and state pension to come.
My plans seem to change whenever I have a ponder.

When I spoke to them they said they'd had a few complaints about it so you never know they might change their mind.
I did think about transferring out but read some horror stories of timescales up to a year and a load of hassle so just thought bollix to that and left it with them

That is true for the local government pension scheme.
Thank you I have a few years yet!

Same position as me. I have a small DB so tweak my SIPP to make sure I pay no tax then use ISA/cash for everything else. Once the SP starts then all the SIPP will be taxable
Sounds about right ,the plan would be build up an income source before then ,isa ,savings ,cash ,to only pull your tax free allowance from any taxable source . My two mates do that. Take max allowed from pension before tax kicks in , any more needed take from elsewhere.
Just saw this ,yes, once state pension etc kicks in youre paying tax whatever you do
