The Local Government Superannuation (Scotland) Regulations 1987

Computation of contributions

J11.—(1) Where a person to whom regulation 18 applies ceases to be employed in his local government employment in circumstances in which there is payable to him under regulation C12(4) an amount by way of return of contributions (with or without interest), then, in calculating that amount, the amount of the contributions paid by him shall be deemed to be increased by the aggregate of the following two sums:—

(i) if his non-local government scheme contains provision for return of contributions, such sum as would have been payable by way of a return of contributions, including interest (if any), under his non-local government scheme at the date of payment of the transfer value received under regulation J8(1) had that transfer value not been paid, and

(ii) such sum as was paid by him by way of superannuation contributions during the period which has become reckonable as reckonable service under regulation J9 which has not been taken into account under sub-paragraph (i).

(2) under regulation C12(4) the amount payable by way of return of contributions is a sum equal to the amount of a person’s contributions with compound interest thereon, compound interest shall also be payable on the amount by which those contributions are increased under paragraph (1) above, calculated in the manner described in regulation C12(4)(b) in respect of the period from the date of payment of the transfer value.

(3) Notwithstanding anything previously contained in this regulation, the sum by which contributions are increased under paragraph (1) above shall not include any sum in respect of contributions which were returned to and retained by the person who had paid them.
