Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Act (including any effects on those provisions):
[F116B(1)Where a pension is payable under the pension scheme to a dependant of the member in the period of 12 months beginning with the date of the member's death (“the post-death year”), so much of the pension as exceeds the initial member pension limit is not a dependants' scheme pension.U.K.
(2)But if—
(a)more than one pension is so payable to one of the dependants of the member in the post-death year, or
(b)pensions are so payable to more than one dependant of the member in the post-death year,
(or both), so much of any of the pensions as exceeds the appropriate portion of the initial member pension limit is not a dependants' scheme pension.
(3)The “initial member pension limit” is (subject to sub-paragraph (4)) the sum of—
(a)the aggregate of the amounts of the scheme pensions to which the member is actually entitled under the pension scheme immediately before his death payable to the member in the period of 12 months ending with the date of his death (“the pre-death year”),
(b)the aggregate of the amounts of the scheme pensions to which the member is prospectively entitled under the pension scheme at that time which would have been so payable if he had been actually entitled to the pensions throughout the pre-death year, and
(c)5% of the aggregate of the [F2uprated amounts (see sub-paragraph (6))] of the lump sums on which there is no liability to income tax to which the member has become entitled in connection with scheme pensions under the pension scheme before his death.
(4)But if the member became (actually) entitled to a scheme pension under the pension scheme during the pre-death year, sub-paragraph (3)(a) has effect as if the amount of that scheme pension which was payable to the member under the pension scheme in the pre-death year were the amount which would have been payable to him in the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which he became entitled to it had he not died.
(5)The “appropriate portion” of the initial member pension limit, in relation to any pension payable under the pension scheme to a dependant of the member in the post-death year, is—
where—
P is the amount of that pension payable in the post-death year, and
AP is the aggregate of the amounts of each of the pensions payable under the pension scheme to dependants of the member in the post-death year.
[F3(6)The “uprated amount” of a lump sum is the amount of the lump sum increased by the higher of C% and R%, where—
(a)if the consumer prices index for the month in which the member dies is higher than it was for the month in which the member became entitled to the lump sum, C% is the percentage increase in the index (but is otherwise 0%), and
(b)if the retail prices index for the month in which the member dies is higher than it was for the month in which the member became entitled to the lump sum, R% is the percentage increase in the index (but is otherwise 0%).]]
