Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
(1)No liability to income tax arises on—
(a)a Malawi government pension,
(b)a Trinidad and Tobago government pension, or
(c)a Zambia government pension,
if conditions A, B and C are met.
(2)Condition A is that the pension is paid to—
(a)the original pensioner, or
(b)the widow or widower [F1or surviving civil partner] of the original pensioner.
(3)Condition B is that the pension is now paid under section 1 of OPA 1973 (whether or not it is paid out of a fund established under a scheme made under that section).
(4)Condition C is that, at the time the pension is paid, provision is made by double taxation relief arrangements which would exempt the pension from income tax in the United Kingdom if the pension were still paid by the relevant government (rather than under section 1 of OPA 1973).
(5)Subsection (1) does not apply to any part of a pension which is paid because the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 (c. 56) applies to it.
