lump sum payment at start of pension
Permalink Closed

Hi,

I have a client who received a lump sum at commencement of his pension, am I right in thinking that this is tax free? This being the case, I do not have to include it anywhere on the SA return?

It was £132k. Anything I should be aware of?

Thanks for reading,

Carole

Hi Carole,

When I started my pension 5 years ago, the first £30k of a lump sum was tax free, rest taxable top slice. Don't know what situation is now, I'm sure someone will post it though.

£132k lump sum, that's one heck of a good pension, must be an ex-banking chief!

Phil

No replies here and I'm bumping it as I would really like to know the answer.

I don't know much about pensions but the following link seems to indicate that it depends on the scheme.

raher than copy from the DirectGov site I'll just post the link.

Thanks. I'd done some research and not come up with anything.

Quite fancy that £132k though. According to the link, it could have been tax free. Wow.
