Non-taxable annuity?

Options
I am in receipt of a small annual pension annuity which arose from a pension policy set up as a means of redress after a pension review by the provider.

Should all of the payments be treated as non-taxable as well as the original 25% lump sum payment?

    No, the 25% lump sum you refer to is tax-free, but the remainder fund is taxable as earned income. This small payment is therefore added to all your other sources of income. You do have your personal allowance of £10,000 though.
    Stephen Covey once said that "when you teach once, you learn twice". That is the primary reason for my participation on the forums as an IFA.

    Although I strive to provide accurate information in my posts, there may be the odd time when I fail. Yes I know it's hard to believe but even Your Hero can make mistakes. Apologies in advance.
