We use our lattice QCD computation of the B_{c}→J/ψ form factors to determine the differential decay rate for the semitauonic decay channel and construct the ratio of branching fractions R(J/ψ)=B(B_{c}^{-}→J/ψτ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B_{c}^{-}→J/ψμ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}). We find R(J/ψ)=0.2582(38) and give an error budget. We also extend the relevant angular observables, which were recently suggested for the study of lepton flavor universality violating effects in B→D^{*}ℓν, to B_{c}→J/ψℓν and make predictions for their values under different new physics scenarios.
