The Registered Pension Schemes (Authorised Payments) (Amendment) Regulations, SI 2017/397, introduce the new pension advice allowance, which will permit individuals to withdraw £500 tax-free from their defined-contribution pension savings, on up to three occasions during their lifetime, to pay for retirement advice. The regulations specify that such payments made by registered pension schemes on or after 6 April 2017 will be authorised payments, not subject to an unauthorised payment tax charge. HMRC consulted during February 2017 on a draft of the regulations.
