[F1(a)the member becomes entitled to it before reaching the age of 75,
(aa)the member becomes entitled to it in connection with becoming entitled to a relevant pension (or dies after becoming entitled to it but before becoming entitled to the relevant pension in connection with which it was anticipated that the member would become entitled to it)]

(c)it is paid within the period [F2beginning six months before, and ending one year after,] the day on which the member becomes entitled to it,
(d)it is paid when the member has reached normal minimum pension age (or the ill-health condition is satisfied),
F3(e). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and
(f)it is not an excluded lump sum (see sub-paragraph (4)).
(2)But if a lump sum falling within sub-paragraph (1) exceeds the permitted maximum, the excess is not a pension commencement lump sum.
(3)A pension is a relevant pension if—
(a)it is income withdrawal, a lifetime annuity or a scheme pension, and
(b)the member becomes entitled to it [F4, otherwise than by virtue of the operation of paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 28, under the pension scheme] under which the member becomes entitled to the lump sum.
(4)A lump sum is an excluded lump sum if—
(a)the pension in connection with which the member becomes entitled to it is a scheme pension the rate of which is to reduce (or which is to cease to be payable) in accordance with paragraph 2(4)(c) of Schedule 28 [F5at a time not earlier than when the member reaches the age of 60 and not later than when the member reaches the age of 65], and
(b)the sole or main purpose of making provision for the pension to be such a pension was to increase the member’s entitlement to a lump sum on which there is no liability to income tax.
(5)Paragraph 2 defines the permitted maximum.
[F6(6)The Board of Inland Revenue may by regulations provide that, where incorrect income tax has been paid by the scheme administrator in relation to the member by way of the lifetime allowance charge in circumstances prescribed by the regulations, a lump sum subsequently paid to the member in circumstances so prescribed is to be treated as a pension commencement lump sum even though either or both of the conditions in sub-paragraph [F7(1)(a) and (c)] are not met.]
