- The Individual's Lump Sum Allowance (ILSA) is modified if a member has lifetime allowance protection
- The Individual's Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance (ILSDBA) is modified if a member has lifetime allowance protection
- Each lump sum has a permitted maximum that is tax-free
Key takeaways from this article
When a client takes a lump sum with a tax-free element, the tax-free portion is limited to the lump sum’s permitted maximum. Generally the tax-free portion will be limited by remaining Individual’s Lump Sum Allowance (ILSA) and remaining Individual’s Lump Sum and Death Benefit Allowance (ILSDBA). However this is not always the case. We have created a comprehensive grid that allows you to compare the ILSA, ILSDBA and permitted maximum for each type of lump sum including where there is protection.
