Be pension flexible: 5 key facts
- Pension drawdown means from 55 you can take money from your pot whenever you like
- The first 25% is tax free; after that each withdrawal is subject to income tax
- You can set up a regular income payment, or take your money as and when you need it
- The money left in your pot remains invested, with the aim of growing these investments as much as possible
- Nominate who will receive any remaining funds in your pot when you die

Taking pension money early isn’t right for everyone because it could leave you with less to live on in retirement. That’s why it makes sense to talk with an independent and regulated adviser, such as Portafina, first. Tax is based on current HMRC regulations and is subject to change.
