Heres the scenario.

I want to max out my ISA allowance.

I have a number of DC pots ranging from £7k to £100 k from various previous employment

I salary sacrifice a whopping 55% of my salary into my current Company DC scheme (company puts in 12%)

I know I should consolidate the number of pots, but what I want to do today is take 25% out of one of the pots to use to top up my ISA before April. And maybe later in April add to my ISA again.

Can I do this without impacting how much I pay into my current DC scheme?

Be careful not to trigger a MPAA limit to future contributions.

Does that apply if I'm only taking the tax free sum out of a pot that is dormant? ( as in i last paid into it in 2000)

I'm paying £35k into my current DC scheme.
