SIPP and getting money put before 55

[pscont]

If you have SIPP and some money in it after 55 yo you can get 25% tax free and the rest at your current tax rate.
Question is can you do this before 55 of course the 25% tax-free is out of question, but if you take money out what are the taxes/penalties?

Clue. Google minimum age for withdrawing pension.

General please.

Question is can you do this before 55 ?

No you can't.

[northernladuk]

Should I have asked an 8 year old to Google this for me?

Yes but don't do it 270 times via various social medias.

Depending on your age the earliest you can take a pension is now 58, I wouldn't pin your hopes on getting it early

Still 55 as far as I know for personal pensions.

For now... By the time some people get to 55 it's going to be higher.

Yes you can.

If you have a terminal illness with less than 12 months to live you maybe able to access your private pension before 55.

<pscont>How much of my pension can I give to my best friend? He has four legs and a tail so can I give double the amount tax free? </pscont>
