Pension/tax claim question

luckybert · 2025-03-25 16:17:39

Hi, Recently I've taken a lump sum of my pension early at 55. 25% was tax free so from my request of £5000 I got £4400 approx. Can I claim that tax back that I paid? I've seen adverts saying claim your tax back.

hmmmm contacted HMRC and thought I'd be getting a refund of some kind and now they have increased my tax code.

Which means you will get it back by paying less tax each month than you would have done.
