HL 2880 to 3600

You can get the tax codes changed now.  If they are the only 2 income streams this year then you can change the expected income of each to the correct amounts and see what HMRC then allocate, make sure you add a bit to the HL as you will be getting interest on any balance held at 3.45%.  There should be no reason for the M1 against HL which causes complications. Get the codes changed then if they continue with the M1 you can contact them to get it removed.

1/12th of the annual allowance for each code is used each month so for 288 you get £240.75 tax free each month adding up across the year (except for the fact they have added M1 which makes that £240.75 stand alone each month).  So as an example if you took £2700 taxable from your pension this month, having not taken any previously this year, only £1444.50 would be tax free even though the £2700 is below the £2889 afforded by the tax code but if you took it in March the whole £2889 would be available and no tax would be deducted.  Taking it early means you would need to reclaim the tax deducted.

Minor point on this fairly old post - but the new tax year is 6/4 - not 1/4.

Also I think HL only do the tax reclaims once per month - so it might be worth leaving paying in to the start of May.

Plus I would then do the draw down as soon as the refunded tax appears - rather than leaving until  near the end of the tax year.
