HM Revenue and Customs has published a draft Statutory Instrument and draft Explanatory Memorandum for comment.
These amend the Information Regulations and require scheme administrators to tell beneficiaries where the payment of an annuity is subject to the lifetime allowance charge. They also require that when beneficiaries annuities are transferred between insurance companies then the transferring insurance company must provide certain information to the receiving insurance company so that the correct tax treatment can be applied following the transfer.
The Information Regulations are expected to have effect from 6 April 2015.
