Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)

Once you reach the age of 55 you can start taking an income from your SIPP, or you can choose to keep your money invested and continue to contribute to your pension pot. If you need to take an income or need access to the money in your pension, you can choose any, or a combination, of the below options.  

Income drawdown (also known as flexi-access drawdown) 

If you don’t need a secure, regular income then you can continue to manage your pension fund and draw a variable income (within certain limits) directly from the SIPP. You will continue to make all investment decisions, and the value of your SIPP will rise and fall depending on the performance of your investments.

If you wish to transfer a pension to your IWeb Share Dealing SIPP from which you have already started taking benefits, please complete the Transfer In Drawdown Benefit Form (PDF, 181KB). This form should be completed in addition to your SIPP application and the relevant transfer-in form(s). If you are transferring more than one pension in drawdown, please complete one form for each transfer.

Charges will apply to your SIPP where you designate some or all of your SIPP to drawdown.  

Taking a taxable lump sum (also known as an uncrystallised pension lump sum).

You can take a one-off payment from your pension or a series of lump sums, keeping the remainder of your pension invested. The first 25% is tax-free, with the remainder subject to tax at your usual rate of income tax.

Purchase an annuity

An annuity converts your pension fund into a regular, secure income payable for the rest of your life. Choosing an annuity is an important decision to get right as, once you’ve signed up, it can’t be stopped or changed.
