                    Say I have £300k in my works pension & I take the 25% tax free at age 58 but continue to contribute £3k a month into it for the rest of my working life (67)  do I get 25% of that new portion £350k or there abouts tax free? 
I think I do but need to know if I'm correct or not?
I fully expect to pay full tax on my remaining first £225k when I take it.

 Implicit in what MallyGirl has said, but worth calling out, you get 25% tax free on the value of those new contributions at the time you want to take the TFC - whether the investment has increased or fallen.MallyGirl said:You get 25% on the uncrystalised portion (new contributions after you crystallise the £300k)1
