Overview

[s221-223]

Generally speaking, where an individual is working abroad they will not receive UK tax relief on contributions to, or the accrual of benefits under, a registered pension scheme.

Sections 221-223 provide broadly for an individual's lifetime allowance to be enhanced for such a period of overseas service after 5 April 2006. That is intended to offset the benefits relating to the unrelieved contributions or accrual for that period and prevents them giving rise to a lifetime allowance charge.
