Taxation of an alternatively secured pension

[Para 6, Sch 31][s579A to 579D, Chapter 5A ITEPA 2003]


Any alternatively secured pension paid by a registered pension scheme is taxable as pension income on the recipient through PAYE.

The taxable pension income for a tax year is the full amount of the alternatively secured pension actually paid in that tax year.

The position where the alternatively secured pension limit is breached in a pension year is dealt with on RPSM09103150.

Where the member dies, and the alternatively secured pension payments continue because of a guarantee, then the recipient of the continued payments is taxed under PAYE.
