Drawdown after April 2015

chucknorris

Does anyone know what the procedure will be for drawing down post April 2015? I'm thinking that it will need to be administered, rather than making your own declarations via a tax return, if so, does anyone have an idea of what sort of fees are likely to be incurred?

Wouldn't have thought it'd change much from the current flexible drawdown procedures, although there is now an additional option of an UFPLS (google it!).

I am new to this but wanted to know what to do to start a thread.


My question is about Personal Pensions, I am looking for a provider who will accept a single lump sum payment of £2880, grossing up to £3600.


So far brokers want to charge a large fee so negates the benefit of doing the plan, any ideas please?

Have a look at Hargreaves Lansdown's website. It explains how to set up a SIPP. It's very easy. Other platforms have similar offerings.

What are you going to do with it? Invest for a few years? Take it out in April? Go into capped drawdown now? Add to it?

HL have % not flat annual charges and no setup charge so are a good option for a small sum while investing, however they do have a £354 fee to start flexible drawdown (this could change in April with the new arrangements).

Thats most of them.

Broker is an often misused term. There are no brokers in individual pensions. You have adviser or intermediaries or you can buy direct.

Advisers are not allowed to take commission and have to work to fee basis. The
DIY side can take commission (although commission is then factored into the product charges. So, may not always be cheaper. Although in your case, it will likely be as the amount is so small).

I have asked BestInvest on this - nothing has been decided yet. I dont think the government have supplied them with all the details.

I was wondering if that was possible ?
How effective is paying £2880 into a pension in March, and withdrawing it in April for a non-taxpayer ?

Depends on charges. There's no requirement to do it one year at a time.
