Hello I am new to this forum.
I have deffered mypension for 10 years and I would like to know if anyone else has done this.
I know that I have a large sum of money accrued,but what they can't tell me is how much extra pension I would get if I did not withdraw the lump sum.Has anyone any idea?
Thanks Lindy.
Lindy,
Your state pension increases by 10% of your state pension rate. So on the 10th anniversary of deferring your pension you'll get 100% extra on your tate pension rate.
Sounds good, well no.
If you can manage without a state pension you'll have income at or above the BR tax threshold, so paying tax now.
You'll pay tax on your state pension too, both bits, statutory bit and differed bit.
