393AEmployer-financed retirement benefits scheme

(1)In this Chapter “employer-financed retirement benefits scheme” means a scheme for the provision of benefits consisting of or including relevant benefits to or in respect of employees or former employees of an employer.

is an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme.

(3)“Section 615(3) scheme” means a superannuation fund to which section 615(3) of ICTA applies.

(4)“Scheme” includes a deed, agreement, series of agreements, or other arrangements.

393BRelevant benefits

(1)In this Chapter “relevant benefits” means any lump sum, gratuity or other benefit (including a non-cash benefit) provided (or to be provided)—

(a)on or in anticipation of the retirement of an employee or former employee,

(b)on the death of an employee or former employee,

(c)after the retirement or death of an employee or former employee in connection with past service,

(d)on or in anticipation of, or in connection with, any change in the nature of service of an employee, or

(2)But—

(a)benefits charged to tax under Part 9 (pension income),

(b)benefits chargeable to tax by virtue of Schedule 34 to FA 2004 (which applies certain charges under Part 4 of that Act in relation to non-UK schemes), and

(a)a group life policy as defined in section 539(3) of ICTA (life policies excluded from charges on gains) with respect to which the conditions in section 539A of that Act are met,

(b)a policy of life insurance the terms of which provide for the payment of benefits on the death of a single individual and with respect to which condition 1 in that section would be met if it referred to that individual (rather than each of the individuals insured under the policy) and conditions 3, 4, 5 and 7 in that section are met, or

(c)a policy of life insurance that would be within paragraph (a) or (b) but for the fact that it provides for a benefit which is an excluded benefit under or by virtue of paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of subsection (3).

(5)In subsection (1)(e) “pension sharing order or provision” means any such order or provision as is mentioned in section 28(1) of WRPA 1999 or Article 25(1) of WRP(NI)O 1999.

395Reduction where employee has contributed

(1)This section applies in relation to a relevant benefit under an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme in the form of a lump sum where, under the scheme, an employee has paid any sum or sums by way of contribution to the provision of the lump sum.

(2)The amount which, by virtue of section 394, counts as employment income, or is chargeable to tax under Case VI of Schedule D, is the amount of the lump sum reduced by the sum, or the aggregate of the sums, paid by the employee by way of contribution to the provision of the lump sum.

(3)A reduction under this section may not be claimed in respect of the same contribution in relation to more than one lump sum.

(4)It is to be assumed, unless the contrary is shown, that no reduction is applicable under this section.
