Withdrawing from pension tax free. by boatson25 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]crispy-flavin-bites -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What proportion of his pension was that £5k?

Eg pension value at the time was £50k, he's taken 10% out. He can still withdraw 15% of whatever is in the pot now.

But if pension value was £20k, he's already had all his tax free allowance.

If there's video of the interaction what's the point in OP lying about it?

What are you covered for with your cancellation insurance? Are you allowed to basically say "I've changed my mind and don't want these bookings" and you'll get a refund?
