GUIDANCE NOTES (continued)

If you have also taken tax-free cash and/or income before 6 April 2006 you will also need to complete Option D.

Option D – Select this option if you have taken tax-free cash and/or income from a pension scheme and the first payment was before 6 April 2006.

• If you are in capped drawdown, enter the maximum gross annual income limit.

• If you entered flexible drawdown before 6 April 2015, enter the maximum gross annual income limit immediately before the plan was converted to flexible drawdown.

• If you are in flexi-access drawdown and you did not enter flexible drawdown before 6 April 2015, enter the maximum gross annual income limit immediately before the plan was converted to flexi-access drawdown.

• If you are being paid a scheme pension or a lifetime annuity from a pension scheme, enter the gross annual amount you receive.

Section 7C – Benefits in excess of lifetime allowanceHMRC rules allow you to build up a total pension fund, in all registered pension schemes, to a level known as the ‘standard lifetime allowance’. The standard lifetime allowance is set at £1,073,100 from 6 April 2020, but you may have (or be entitled to have) a lifetime allowance that is higher. Your financial adviser will be able to tell you if this affects you.

If you choose to take the excess funds above the Lifetime Allowance as a cash lump sum, a charge of 55% will be deducted before the balance is paid to you.

If you choose to take the excess funds as income, the charge will be 25% and the income will be subject to income tax. The charge will be deducted by Old Mutual Wealth and paid to HMRC. For example, if your account is valued at £500,000 and you use all of it to provide benefits and your available Lifetime Allowance is £400,000, the excess would be £100,000.

Please indicate whether you require any excess to be paid as a cash lump sum, income or a combination of both. Please note that it is not possible to take a lump sum in respect of funds which are already crystallised.
