Quite simply - the new pension allowances

It seems like only yesterday the Chancellor stood up in parliament and announced the abolition of the Lifetime Allowance (LTA). From 6 April we’ll be in the new world of Lump Sum Allowance and Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance. No need to worry about what you need to do by 6 April as that date will be in the past. Things have gotten simpler.

  • Describe how to establish the starting Lump Sum and the Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowances for your clients
  • Explain how the new allowances are used up
