HMRC have confirmed that they do not intend to change how they deduct tax on flexible pension drawdowns.
HMRC have reviewed the Real Time Information requirements for reporting flexible drawdowns of employer Pensions and the way in which those drawdowns are taxed.
HMRC have concluded that they will not change the current process:
- 75% of the payment will be taxed, 25% will be tax-free
- Tax will be deducted using the Emergency PAYE code on a week 1 month 1 basis.
In a number of cases this will result in tax overpayments and refund requests. HMRC believe this is the most appropriate way of collecting the tax.

What is the 2018/19 PAYE tax code?
Wouldn’t it be great and think how much TIME it would SAVE you if someone:
- READ all the latest tax news, case decisions, new legislation and articles in tax and then summarised them for you?
- Only alerted you to things that are RELEVANT to you?
- How about if that someone also:
- Updated those summaries in REAL TIME for you
- ADDED examples, planning points, toolkits and calculators, and
- Linked all that information together and also provided you with CPD?
