Taking out money before the new tax year?

Here’s how to make sure your withdrawals are applied in 2025/26:​​

Taxable Lump Sums & One-off Income payments - Signed Illustration received by 23 March.​

Flex Access Drawdown - Final signed illustration must be received by 1 April.​

Regular Pension Income - For new or regular income amendments, input or changes keyed and relevant funds cleared in the cash account by 19 March.​​

The above are dates that final paperwork must be received. Money must be cleared in cash within the pension (including any sale proceeds) within 2 days of the paperwork being received.​

It can take 14 days to process a retirement claim from the point of the initial request.
