Your provider will usually deduct emergency tax from the first lump sum payment. This means you might pay too much tax if you take one large sum when you first start taking your money out and have to claim the money back. Or you might owe more tax if you have other sources of income. Or if you have less lifetime allowance available than the amount you want to withdraw.
If you take your pension pot in one go and you don't do this under the small pot lump sum rules see below for more information then this might affect how much you can continue to save for retirement.
