Ombudsman’s Determination

Outcome

I do not uphold Mr O’s complaint and no further action is required by Hartley.

Complaint summary

Mr O is unhappy because Hartley allowed him to withdraw two tax-free payments from the Scheme, when he had already reached his Lifetime Allowance (LTA).

Hartley is now asking Mr O to repay £17,303.21 to the Scheme, in order to cover the resulting tax charge.
