If you are considering taking a partial or full cash payment before the 2024/2025 tax year end, please see our timetable of requirements below:
Step 1: Retirement options
- It is an FCA requirement to provide policyholders with options in writing before we can issue claim forms. Options need to have been received within 12 months of the payment request
- Requests for options need to be with us by 14 February 2025
Step 2: Request for cash - partial or full
- Requests for forms need to be with us by 28 February 2025
Step 3: Return of fully completed payment forms
- Fully completed payment forms need to be with us by 21 March 2025
Step 4: Final date of payment - 28 March 2025
- Assuming we have received all of our requirements, this is the final date we expect to be able to ensure payment before the end of the tax year
We will do our best to process any requests and forms received after the dates quoted above, but we need to make you aware that in these circumstances it may not be possible for us to make the payment before the end of the tax year. Please contact us as early as possible if you are considering taking a payment before the end of the tax year.
