Paying platform fees directly from crystallised pot - MPAA?

Just something that's been niggling at me - I currently pay platform/fund management fees for some of my SIPPs by selling units from time to time. Tax efficient and all that.
But if/when I come to crystallise these pensions and take my 25% - would future unit sales to pay fees be treated as taking taxable income that would trigger the MPAA?

No.You aren't drawing a taxable income. A provider is taking their fees.0
