Will my pension be taxed?
The Budget will cover pensions, and how you take your pension can affect its tax. If you take a lump sum, 25% is usually tax-free, but the rest is taxed as income. Annuities and drawdown payments are also taxed as income. This means your pension contributions, already taxed, could be taxed again when you receive them.
