    Only if there's a 'chargeable event' ..... which is unusual with endowment policies.

    You need to consult on that with your policy supplier when getting a surrender figure?
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !

    And, really only then if you are a higher rate taxpayer as there is generally deemed basic rate tax attached to that chargeable event.
