    One thought - if you plan to draw £12k pa out of the drawdown account perhaps you should do that as £1k per month. If you draw £12k all in one month you are probably going to see some tax deducted from it.

    If you take the full £12570 in one month, you will pay around £4K in tax.

    From another thread - details from @molerat

     £4034.70. On a code of 1257LM1 £1048.26 is tax free, 20% on the next £3142, 40% on the next £7287 and 45% on the remainder.

    There are ways of claiming it back, or if you just leave it you will automatically get a refund when your tax is calculated later in 2026.

    How far that little candles throw their beams. So shines good deeds in a naughty world.
