I used to live overseas where I had a private pension pot. Due to covid19 exceptional circumstamnces, the country has allowed to take out 25% which I've just received in my UK bank account. How this should be taxed?

1To many potential complications to make an answer, but from this GOV.UK page it looks like that from 2017 you pay tax on 100% of a foreign pension (90% before that date)... if the lump sum was built-up before April 2017, it will receive "former tax treatment" (whatever that was). – TripeHound Jun 19 at 14:52

Whether any of this changes because of Covid-19, I don't know...I've not dug into it, but the only tax-related changes I seem to remember hearing about involve possibly being able to defer tax payments, but even that half-remembered nugget may be wrong – TripeHound Jun 19 at 14:54
