HMRC releases initial guidance on lifetime allowance

HMRC has issued preliminary guidance on how the abolition of the lifetime allowance for pensions will be phased in as legislation will not be passed until 2024

As announced at the Budget the removal of the £1,073,100 limit on pension savings will take effect from 6 April 2023, but it will not be possible to use the benefit until the 2024/25 tax year, according to the guidance from HMRC as the legislation will not be included in the current Finance Bill.

Detailed guidance will be published on 6 April once the allowance change comes into effect. The guidance contains a series of examples of how the change will affect different taxpayers, particularly those with enhanced protection.
