answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text On 15 March the government introduced legislation to remove the LTA charge from 6 April 2023, prior to the full abolition of the LTA from 6 April 2024. By removing the lifetime limit on tax-relievable pension savings and improving the financial incentives of work, this policy ensures that individuals will not be disincentivised from remaining in work by pension tax limits. It therefore supports government efforts to increase labour market productivity. The information requested could only be produced at disproportionate cost.<p> </p>Lifetime Allowance charges are published by HMRC annually up to tax year 2021 to 2022 in Table 8 of the Private pension statistics publication: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-and-stakeholder-pensions-statistics" target="_blank">Private pension statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>. answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 24/10/2023 15:12:49 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
