The person was simply wrong. If you take a UFPLS - the 25% tax free 75% taxable lump sum - you are then subject to a reduction in your annual allowance for money purchase pensions from £40k to £10k a year now and to £4k a year from April 2017.Um, in what way is the Money Purchase Annual Allowance not one form of the Annual Allowance...?0 -

It might have been more logical to make this the same value as applicable to those without earnings, ie £3600. Ideally raise this to the £4000 figure as it has been static for so long.0
