No – a transition to retirement pension cannot be cashed as a lump sum. There is a minimum that has to be taken of 4% and the maximum that can be withdrawn is 10%. However, the withdrawal rate can be compounded. For example, a Trustee has $100,000 in his Super Fund. He withdraws a transition to retirement pension of 10%, leaving $90,000 left in the Super Fund. In the same year, he can take out another 10% of the remaining amount of $90,000.
