Hi
Some advice from an IFA on the forum or someone who may have had this dilemma can hopefully help with this one.
I have money invested in a 20 year investment bond which is not performing as well as I believe the money could elsewhere, I understand the 5% pa rule tax free allowance, but I am only looking for growth currently.
If I was to take the encashment value and move it into a sipp with a different company would the value be classed as taxable income within that year?
Any advice welcome....

It certainly won't be allowable earnings for tax relief in a pension.
As to whether there are penalties in cashing in the product then that would depend on the specific terms of that product.0
