The Finance Act 2011 (c. 11) made changes to the Lifetime Allowance Charge applied to pensions by reducing the Lifetime Allowance. Paragraph 14 of Schedule 18 to that Act provided for transitional protection for the Lifetime Allowance provided that conditions contained within that paragraph are met and a person has served notice on the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs of intention to rely on the protection provided by that paragraph (a “paragraph 14 notice”).
