Social security pension lump sums

Charge to income tax on lump sum
7
1
A charge to income tax arises where a person becomes entitled to a social security pension lump sum.
2
For the purposes of the Tax Acts (including subsection (5)) a social security pension lump sum—
a
is to be treated as income, but
b
is not to be taken into account in determining the total income of any person.
3
The person liable to a charge under this section is the person (“P”) entitled to the lump sum, whether or not P is resident ... ... in the United Kingdom.
4
The charge is imposed on P for the applicable year of assessment (see subsection (6)).
5
A charge under this section for a person who is neither a Scottish taxpayer nor a Welsh taxpayer in the applicable year of assessment is a charge in respect of the amount of the lump sum at the following rate—
a
if P's Step 3 income for the applicable year of assessment is nil, 0%;
b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
c
if P's Step 3 income for that year of assessment is greater than nil but does not exceed the basic rate limit for that year, the basic rate ... for that year;
d
if P's Step 3 income for that year of assessment exceeds the basic rate limit for that year but does not exceed the higher rate limit for that year, the higher rate ... for that year.
e
if P's Step 3 income for that year of assessment exceeds the higher rate limit for that year, the additional rate
... for that year.
5A
Where P is a Scottish taxpayer in the applicable year of assessment, a charge under this section is a charge in respect of the amount of the lump sum at the following rate—
a
if P’s Step 3 income for the applicable year of assessment is nil, 0%;
b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
c
if P’s Step 3 income for that year of assessment
is greater than nil
, the highest Scottish rate for that tax year that
would be applicable to an amount of income that is equal to P’s Step 3 income(2) for that year if such amount were wholly chargeable to income tax at Scottish rates
.
5B
Where P is a Welsh taxpayer in the applicable year of assessment, a charge under this section is a charge in respect of the amount of the lump sum at the following rate—
a
if P’s step 3 income for the applicable year of assessment is nil, 0%;
b
if P’s step 3 income for that year of assessment is greater than nil but does not exceed the basic rate limit for that year, the Welsh basic rate for that year;
c
if P’s step 3 income for that year of assessment is greater than the basic rate limit but does not exceed the higher rate limit for that year, the Welsh higher rate for that year;
d
if P’s step 3 income for that year of assessment is greater than the higher rate limit for that year, the Welsh additional rate for that year.

Section 8 makes provision as to the meaning of “the applicable year of assessment” for the purposes of this section.
7
Section 9 contains further definitions and makes provision as to commencement.
8
Section 10 contains consequential amendments.
9
For the purposes of this section P's “
Step 3 income
” means P's net income less allowances deducted at Step 3 of the calculation in section 23 of ITA 2007 (calculation of income tax liability).

Meaning of “applicable year of assessment” in section 7
8
1
For the purposes of section 7 “the applicable year of assessment” has the meaning given by this section.
2
Subject to subsections (5) to (7), the applicable year of assessment is—
a
the year of assessment in which the first benefit payment day falls, or
b
if P dies before the beginning of that year of assessment, the year of assessment in which P dies.
3
For the purposes of subsection (2)
“the first benefit payment day” is, subject to subsections (4) , (4A) and (4B) , the day as from which P's—
a
Category A or Category B retirement pension,
b
shared additional pension, or
c
graduated retirement benefit,
becomes payable following the period of deferment by virtue of which P's entitlement to the lump sum arises.
4
But where—
a
the lump sum is a state pension lump sum to which P is entitled under paragraph 7A of Schedule 5 to SSCBA 1992 or paragraph 7A of Schedule 5 to SSCB(NI)A 1992 or a graduated retirement benefit lump sum to which P is entitled under a provision corresponding to either of those paragraphs, and
b
at the time of S's death, P was entitled to a Category A or Category B retirement pension or (as the case may be) graduated retirement benefit,
the first benefit payment day is the day on which S died; and for this purpose “S” is the person by virtue of whose period of deferment P's entitlement to the lump sum arises.
4A
In a case where the social security pension lump sum is a lump sum under section 8 of the Pensions Act 2014 or under any corresponding provision under the law of Northern Ireland, “
the first benefit payment day
” for the purposes of subsection (2) is the day as from which the lump sum becomes payable.
4B
In a case where the social security pension lump sum is a lump sum under regulations under section 10 of the Pensions Act 2014 which make provision corresponding or similar to section 8 of that Act or under any corresponding provision under the law of Northern Ireland, “the first benefit payment day” for the purposes of subsection (2) is the day as from which the lump sum becomes payable.
5
Subsections (6) and (7) apply where social security regulations make provision enabling the making of an election for a social security pension lump sum to be paid in the year of assessment (“the later year of assessment”) next following that given by subsection (2).
6
If such an election is made by P and is not revoked, the applicable year of assessment is—
a
the later year of assessment, or
b
if P dies before the beginning of that year of assessment, the year of assessment in which P dies.
7
If—
a
P dies after the beginning of the later year of assessment,
b
by the time of P's death, P has not notified the Secretary of State as to whether or not P wishes to make such an election,
c
social security regulations make provision enabling the making of such an election in such a case by the personal representatives of P, and
d
P's personal representatives make such an election in accordance with the regulations,
the applicable year of assessment is the later year of assessment.
8
For the purposes of determining the applicable year of assessment, it does not matter when the lump sum is actually paid.

- “Category A or Category B retirement pension” means Category A or Category B retirement pension under Part 2 of SSCBA 1992 or Part 2 of SSCB(NI)A 1992;
