16. Taking Income from a SIPP

This episode is a follow-up to episode #12 where we discussed How Pensions Work. This time we look at the practicalities of drawing down an income from a self-invested personal pension (SIPP).The SIPP has been chosen for simplicity although many occupation defined contribution pensions will behave in a very similar way. We again cover the difference between flexi-access drawdown (FAD) and uncrystallised funds pension lump sums (UFPLS) and how these relate to the 25% tax-free allowance.[Correction: the podcast mentions Origo as a provider or back-end software for investment platforms. They do provide transfer services between pension platforms but the actual backend software provider for Vanguard and Interactive Investor is FNZ.]⁠⁠Support the show⁠the fire place community
