Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
127(1)A “transitional tax-free amount certificate” is a certificate relating to an individual that—

(ii)the amount of the individual’s lump sum and death benefit transitional tax-free amount.
(2)An application for a certificate in relation to an individual—
(a)may be made by the individual or, if the individual is deceased, the individual’s personal representatives;
(b)may be made to any registered pension scheme of which the individual is a member or, if the individual is deceased, of which the individual was a member immediately before death;
(c)must be accompanied by complete evidence as to the amount of the individual’s lump sum and death benefit transitional tax-free amount;
(d)may not be made after the occurrence, in relation to the individual, of a relevant benefit crystallisation event within the meaning of section 637S of ITEPA 2003 (availability of individual’s lump sum and death benefit allowance).
(3)The scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme to which an application is made must, before the end of the period of three months beginning with the date on which the scheme receives the application, determine the application by—
(a)issuing the applicant with a certificate, or
(b)notifying the applicant that the application is refused.
(4)A certificate must (in addition to certifying the matter mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b)) contain the following information—
(a)the individual’s name, address and national insurance number,
(b)the individual’s lifetime allowance previously-used amount expressed as a percentage of the standard lifetime allowance,
(c)the amount that the scheme administrator is satisfied is the individual’s lump sum transitional tax-free amount, and

(6)If at any time it appears to the scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme that the amount specified on a certificate under sub-paragraph (4)(c) or (d) does not accurately reflect the individual’s lump sum transitional tax-free amount or (as the case may be) lump sum and death benefit transitional tax-free amount, they must cancel the certificate by giving notice of the cancellation to the applicant or, if the applicant is deceased, the applicant’s personal representatives.
(7)A certificate—
