New lump sum allowances

The Lifetime Allowance (LTA) was the maximum amount that someone could save in their pension and take without incurring additional tax. The LTA has now been abolished and there are now two new lump sum allowances. From 6 April 2024, the total amount of your pension savings (across all your pension schemes) that can be paid as tax-free lump sums will be limited by the Lump Sum Allowance and the Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance.
