Trivial commutation lump sum
Providing an individual's total pension benefits do not exceed 1% of the standard lifetime allowance their pension rights can be fully commuted into a single lump sum payment on or after age 60 and before age 75 (all benefits must be commuted within a 12 month period). They will be taxed as having pension income in that tax year equal to the lump sum payable (after any tax-free cash has been taken).
