LIFETIME

ALLOWANCE
PROTECTION
READY FOR
ANOTHER ROUND?
Chris Jones

The lifetime allowance reduces again from


6 April 2016 to 1m, accompanied by another
round of protection. A further reduction means
many more clients will be affected and in need
of advice. We look at the options available.
Whilst at the time of writing we dont have the technical
details, HMRC pension schemes newsletter 70 confirmed
that there will be the same options as in 2014 with the same
conditions. The only difference will be the application process
and deadlines which are yet to be decided, however, there is
a suggestion that the time limits may be removed altogether.
Depending on the value of their funds as at 5 April 2016,
clients have up to five choices, Individual Protection 2016,
Fixed Protection 2016, both forms of protection, or no
protection. In addition, clients over their minimum retirement
age could also consider the option of crystallising benefits
before 6 April 2016.
Lets start with an overview of the two protection options we
expect to be available.
