NOTE

In this section, and in other parts of this form, we refer to ‘crystallised’ and ‘uncrystallised’ parts of your pension savings. When some or all of your Collective Retirement Account is set aside for the purpose of providing tax-free cash and/or taxable income withdrawals, it is known in pension regulations as ‘crystallising’ the amount involved. We are required by pension rules to identify crystallised and uncrystallised parts of your account separately.

Any regular contributions into your account will continue until you tell us to stop them in writing.

I want to use all the uncrystallised part of my account and take the maximum amount of tax-free cash permitted to me.

Please note regular contributions will continue unless you tell us otherwise

4 INCOME WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS

3 of 8

Capped drawdown• If you started capped drawdown before 6 April 2015 and have not since converted to flexi-access drawdown, your account is

still in capped drawdown. In taking further tax-free cash the maximum capped annual income withdrawal available to you will be re-calculated. If it is higher than what was previously available it will have immediate effect on the income withdrawals you can take each year under capped drawdown rules.

• If the amount is lower, the lower amount will only apply from the start of the next income payment year. You will be notified of the revised annual amount of withdrawals you can make under capped drawdown rules. Income withdrawals can be changed up to the maximum limits set at your last review. Future reviews will be conducted every three years until age 75. After age 75 these reviews will be annual. Certain events will also trigger a review and you have the option to recalculate your maximum income each year.

• If you are in capped drawdown and select a specified regular income amount of more than the maximum amount permitted, your account will immediately convert to flexi-access drawdown. It cannot be reversed even if you subsequently reduce the income level back down to within the maximum for that year.

• If you are in capped drawdown and select a one-off withdrawal that exceeds the remaining maximum amount permitted, your account will immediately convert to flexi-access drawdown.

Flexi-access drawdown• There is no cap on the amount of income you can take using flexi-access drawdown. However, once you take income in this way, the

amount you can pay into ‘money purchase’ (also known as ‘defined contribution’) schemes in any tax year without being liable to a tax charge is subject to a limit called the ‘Money Purchase Annual Allowance’ (MPAA). This is currently £4,000. You have the option to convert to flexi-access at any time. You can do this by ticking option i) below. For more information please contact your financial adviser.

• For those who took tax free cash for the first time after 6 April 2015, you will be subject to the Money Purchase Annual Allowance the first time you take income from your account.

How is income taxed?You will have to pay tax on the income you receive in the same way as you would on a salary. How much you pay depends on your total income. If this is the first time that you will be taking an income withdrawal from your account, generally the provider will not know your overall income and will use an emergency tax code to start with. This means you may pay too much tax initially and have to claim the money back. Alternatively you may owe more tax if you have other sources of income. If you have taken income previously, tax will be deducted based on the tax code that has been provided by HM Revenue & Customs. Please see our Guide to Income Tax and Your Pension for further information.

Complete as required i) Convert to flexi-access

ii) One-off withdrawal

I would like to immediately change from capped drawdown to flexi-access drawdown.

I confirm I understand that there is no cap on the amount of income I can take under flexi-access drawdown, and once I take income this way I will be subject to the Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA).

I understand that once the account has been converted, it cannot be changed back.

Any regular income you currently receive will continue unless you complete the regular income section belowu If we make an income payment to you in good faith, based on your instruction, we are not able to accept it back at a later date and this may affect your tax position.

A current Valuation Statement should be obtained to ascertain the details of funds held within your CRA. (Please note the value on this statement is not guaranteed and is subject to change).

You can only make this withdrawal after reaching your minimum pension age, which is typically 55. Where special circumstances apply, such as ill health or where you have transferred from another scheme with a protected low pension age, you may be able to take benefits before age 55. Please note that, following the first payment of flexi-access drawdown income, the maximum you will be able to contribute will be £4,000 a year to any money purchase pension scheme.

Tax-free cash You may be entitled to take part of your CRA as tax-free cash. This would typically be up to 25% of the amount being crystallised (or more if you are entitled to specific protection detailed in section 7). If you do not take the full amount of tax-free cash available at the point of crystallisation, you will not be able to take any other tax free cash from these crystallised funds. However, if you are not crystallising 100% of your CRA you may be permitted to take further tax-free cash when you crystallise the remaining funds.Please note, you could suffer a tax liability if pension contributions arefunded from a tax-free cash sum received from a registered pensionscheme.

Section 1 – Financial adviser declarationThe Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has stated that all providers must inform clients of the risks associated with taking money from their pension. We are required to record when advice has been given.

Section 2 – Your detailsProof of AgeIf this is the first time you have taken Tax Free Cash from the Collective Retirement Account, we must have evidence of your date of birth.

We will require one of the following:• your photocard driving licence• your passport

(Your driving licence or passport must be valid and must not have expired).

• your birth certificate (If your name is currently different from your birth certificate, we will require evidence of the change of name – for example your marriage certificate or change of name deed)

• a Confirmation of Verification of Identity (CoVI) from your financial adviser

If you are making this application through a financial adviser, there is no need to send your original document to us in the post. You can provide the relevant document to your financial adviser, who can then either:• declare that they have seen the appropriate evidence of your age

using the option on our online system, or• provide us with a certified copy of the document for our files.

Section 3 – Tax-free cash optionsTo enable a withdrawal of benefits from your CRA you must crystallise funds within your CRA. You can crystallise all or part of your CRA. Where you are paying a new lump sum investment or transferring uncrystallised funds from another pension arrangement you can select to immediately fully crystallise that payment and take your maximum tax-free cash entitlement. You can do this by selecting Option 1. The tax-free cash will be calculated based upon the payment received. The balance after deducting the tax-free cash will be invested and be subject to charges.The following options apply a) where you are paying a new lump sum investment or transfer investment and want immediate crystallisation on that payment but not maximum tax-free cash, or b) you are crystallising funds already held within your CRA.

Option 2 will effect a full crystallisation, with the option to take your full entitlement of tax-free cash or to specify the amount of tax-free cash. This option should be used if you have a protected tax free cash amount.

Option 3 will effect a full crystallisation, with the option to specify the amount of tax-free cash you require.

Option 4 allows you to indicate the amount you wish to crystallise and specify the amount of tax-free cash you require, with the option to take either your full entitlement of tax-free cash or to specify the amount of tax-free cash you require.

Payment of tax-free cash will normally be calculated based on the bid value of the fund at the point of crystallisation. The amount paid could vary.

When taking only a proportion of your CRA you must retain £3,000 of your uncrystallised funds within your CRA.

Section 4 – Income withdrawal optionsIncome payable from your CRA using either capped or flexi-access drawdown is subject to income tax.• Income payments will normally be paid on the 25th of the month

provided we have received all of our requirements by the 9th of the month

• Income will be paid using an emergency tax code until we are notified by HMRC of your correct tax code. Please refer to the enclosed Income tax booklet for further information.

Section 5 – Fund choice for income withdrawalThis is where you tell us which funds you wish us to sell to meet your income payments.

Section 6 – Bank detailsThis is for details of the bank account where you would like us to pay your tax-free cash or income withdrawals.

We will need to see proof of the bank account ownership. The proof can be an original or certified* copy of a voided cheque or bank account statement dated within the last six months. If you have online bank account statements, you can send a printed copy certified* by your adviser.* Copies must be certified on each page in ink by a UK-based professional such

as your financial adviser, solicitor, accountant, GP or bank manager (including the bank’s stamp). We cannot accept photographs of documents or debit cards. Emails of certified copies must confirm that the original documents have been witnessed.

Section 7 – Pension Protection This section is applicable if you have lifetime allowance protection. If so, please complete this section and enclose a certified copy of your HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) certificate of protection. If your protection is online only, and you don’t have a certificate, please provide us with both your Protection reference and Pension Scheme Administrator (PSA) reference numbers, which you can check online with HMRC.

Option A – Select this option if you have never taken tax-free cash and/or income from any UK registered pension scheme.

Option B – Select this option if you have only taken tax-free cash and/or income from your Collective Retirement Account(s).

Option C – Select this option if you have taken tax-free cash and/or income from a pension scheme, on or after 6 April 2006. The provider(s) who paid your benefits will be able to tell you how much Lifetime Allowance you have used.

The percentage figure needs to be the total percentage of the Standard Lifetime Allowance you have used with all your pension providers.

If you have also taken tax-free cash and/or income before 6 April 2006 you will also need to complete Option D.Option D – Select this option if you have taken tax-free cash and/or income from a pension scheme and the first payment was before 6 April 2006. If you are in capped drawdown, enter the maximum gross annual income limit. If you entered flexible drawdown before 6 April 2015, enter the maximum gross annual income limit immediately before the plan was converted to flexible drawdown.
