(2)Regulations may make provision for treating an earner’s employment which ends before a person succeeds to the business of the earner’s employer as having been employment under the employer’s successor.

(3)Regulations may make provision—

(a)for changes in an earner’s employment due to the death of an employer or another cause, or any cesser of contracted-out employment so due, to be disregarded; or

(b)for employment under one employer to be treated as a continuation of that under another and any contracting-out certificate issued to, or election made by, the former employer to be treated as issued to or made by the latter.

(4)Regulations may also make provision—

(a)for temporary interruptions in an earner’s employment or contracted-out employment to be disregarded; and

(b)for the employment in either case to be treated as continuing during the interruption.

(5)References in this paragraph to an earner’s employment beginning or ending shall include references to his employment becoming or ceasing to be contracted-out employment.

2(1)Subject to sub-paragraph (2), regulations may enable the [F1Inland Revenue] to determine in prescribed circumstances that an earner, or any group of earners whose employment falls within a particular category or description of contracted-out employments, has been in such employment from a date (“the determined date”) earlier than would otherwise be the case.N.I.

(2)The determined date for any earner may not be earlier than—

(i)the termination of pensionable service occurs on or after 1st January 1991; or

an amount equal to the appropriate revaluation percentage of the amount of the pension or other benefit which on the termination date has accrued to him or to any other person in respect of him (excluding any part of that amount which consists of the member’s or the member’s [F22widow's, widower’s or surviving civil partner's] guaranteed minimum); and

(b)in any other case, an amount equal to such proportion of the appropriate revaluation percentage of the amount of that pension or other benefit (excluding any such part) as the member’s pensionable service falling on or after 1st January 1985 bears to his total pensionable service.

(2)In sub-paragraph (1) “pensionable service” includes any notional pensionable service which is credited to the member by the scheme.

(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(b), any notional pensionable service which is credited to a member by a scheme shall be taken to have ended immediately before the member’s actual pensionable service began.

(4)Any rule of a scheme the effect of which is that benefit falls to be revalued by reference to any period is to be disregarded in making any calculation required by this method.

The revaluation percentage and the appropriate revaluation percentageN.I.

Prospective

2(1)Whenever the Secretary of State makes an order under paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the M3Pension Schemes Act 1993 specifying a revaluation percentage for each revaluation period within the meaning of that paragraph, the Department may make an order specifying a corresponding revaluation percentage for each revaluation period (as defined in paragraph (2)).N.I.

(2)A period is a “revaluation period”, in relation to each order under this paragraph, if it is a period which—

(a)begins with 1st January 1986 or with an anniversary of that date falling before the making of the order; and

(b)ends with the next day after the making of the order which is 31st December.

(3)In paragraph 1 “the appropriate revaluation percentage” means the revaluation percentage specified in the last calendar year before the date on which the member attains normal pension age as the revaluation percentage for the revaluation period which is of the same length as the number of complete years in the pre-pension period.

The average salary methodN.I.

3(1)The average salary method is to revalue the member’s salaries as respects the pre-pension period in any way in which they would have been revalued during that period if he had remained in the same pensionable service.N.I.

(2)In this paragraph “salaries” means, subject to sub-paragraph (4), the member’s salaries for the period between the date when his pensionable service began and the termination date, or such part of them as was relevant under the scheme to the calculation of the retirement benefits payable under the scheme to him or to any other person in respect of him.

(3)For the purpose of this paragraph those salaries are to be taken to include—

(a)any amount which is attributed to them, otherwise than by virtue of this paragraph, as the result of a revaluation for which the rules of the scheme provide; and

(b)any amount which is for any reason credited to the member by way of salary notionally earned.

(4)Where the member’s pensionable service ended before 1st January 1991, sub-paragraph (2) shall have effect with the substitution for the words from “means” to “termination date” of the words “means the member’s salaries for the period between 1st January 1985 and the termination date”.

(5)For the purposes of the application of this paragraph to a case where a member is credited with an amount by reference to salary notionally earned over a period of time of a particular length, that period shall be taken to have ended immediately before the member’s actual pensionable service began.

The flat rate methodN.I.

4N.I.The flat rate method is to revalue the benefits which have accrued to the member as respects the pre-pension period in any way in which they would have been revalued during that period if he had remained in the same pensionable service.

The money purchase methodN.I.

5(1)Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3), the money purchase method is to apply the investment yield and any bonuses arising from payments made by or on behalf of a member towards providing any pension or other retirement benefit which is payable under the scheme to him or to any other person in respect of him in the manner in which they would have been applied if his pensionable service had not terminated.N.I.

(2)The Department may by regulations authorise trustees and managers of occupational pension schemes to deduct from any pension or other retirement benefit provided by virtue of the money purchase method an appropriate amount in respect of the administrative expenses incurred by them in carrying this method into effect.

(3)The trustees and managers of a personal pension scheme may, when providing a pension or other retirement benefit by virtue of the money purchase method, deduct—

(a)the actual administrative expenses of doing so, or

(b)the amount of the administrative expenses which would have been incurred in providing a money purchase benefit for the same member if contributions had not ceased to be paid to the scheme in respect of him,

whichever is the less.

2(1)The substitution of this Act for the repealed enactments does not affect the continuity of the law.N.I.

(2)Anything done or having effect as if done under or for the purposes of a provision of the repealed enactments has effect, if it could have been done under or for the purposes of the corresponding provision of this Act, as if done under or for the purposes of that corresponding provision.

(3)Any reference, whether express or implied, in this Act or any other enactment, instrument or document to a provision of this Act shall, so far as the context permits, be construed as including, in relation to the times, circumstances and purposes in relation to which the corresponding provision of the repealed enactments has effect, a reference to that corresponding provision.

(4)Any reference, whether express or implied, in any enactment, instrument or document to a provision of the repealed enactments shall be construed, so far as is required for continuing its effect, as including a reference to the corresponding provision of this Act.

3N.I.Where—

(a)this Act repeals an enactment relating to the coming into operation of another provision, including—

(i)an enactment deeming a provision always to have had effect or to have had effect from a date earlier than that which would otherwise apply or enabling regulations or an order made under a provision to be framed so as to have such an effect, and

(ii)an enactment conferring power by regulations to provide or make savings in preparation for or in connection with the coming into operation of a provision, and

(b)the effect of that provision is reproduced in this Act,

the repeal does not affect the operation of that enactment, in so far as it is not specifically reproduced in this Act but remains capable of having effect, in relation to the corresponding provision of this Act.

4(1)The repeal or revocation by this Act of an enactment previously repealed or revoked subject to savings does not affect the continued operation of those savings.N.I.

(2)The repeal or revocation by this Act of a saving to which a previous repeal or revocation of an enactment is subject does not affect the operation of the saving in so far as it is not specifically reproduced in this Act but remains capable of having effect.

5N.I.The repeal or revocation by this Act of an enactment which has effect as respects any provision of the repealed enactments (being a provision which is not reproduced in this Act but continues in effect by virtue of this Schedule or the M6Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954) does not affect its operation as respects that provision.

6N.I.Any document made, served or issued after this Act comes into operation which contains a reference to any of the repealed enactments shall be construed, except so far as a contrary intention appears, as referring or, as the context may require, including a reference to the corresponding provision of this Act.

Part IIN.I. Specific Provisions

Contracting-out requirements for schemes providing guaranteed minimum pensionsN.I.

7N.I.An occupational pension scheme which—

(a)at any time before the coming into operation of the first regulations made under—

(i)sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph (2) of Article 34 of the M7Social Security Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1975 (which corresponded to section 5(2)(a) of this Act), or

(ii)paragraph (8) of Article 37 of the Social Security Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1975 (which corresponded to section 12(4) of this Act),

did not satisfy that sub-paragraph or, as the case may be, that paragraph; but

(b)would have satisfied it if those regulations had then been in operation,

shall, for the purpose of determining whether the scheme satisfied that sub-paragraph or, as the case may be, that paragraph, be treated as if those regulations had been in operation at that time.

Marginal Citations

8N.I.Any document the contents of which are in terms corresponding to those of paragraph (7) of Article 37 of the M8Social Security Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1975 as that paragraph stood immediately before the making of the M9Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 (which corresponded to section 12(2) and (3) of this Act, but with the substitution for the words from “is terminated before” onwards of the words “is terminated before he attains the scheme’s normal pension age shall be determined for the purposes of section 10(2) without reference to any order that comes into operation under Article 23 of the Social Security Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1975 after the relevant year in which his service ends”) shall be construed as if its contents were and always had been in terms corresponding to those of section 12(2) and (3) of this Act.

9N.I.The requirement of the Social Security Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 1975 that for an occupational pension scheme to be contracted-out in relation to an earner’s employment it must provide requisite benefits shall, except so far as it relates to guaranteed minimum pensions, be treated for the purposes of section 33 of this Act as if it had never existed.

10(1)Where in the tax year 1989-90 the trustees or managers of an occupational pension scheme made an increase in the rate of pensions currently payable to the members of the scheme who had attained pensionable age or to the widows or widowers of members, they may deduct the amount of the increase from any increase which, but for this sub-paragraph, they would be required to make under section 105 in the tax year 1990-91.N.I.

(2)Subsections (1) and (4) of section 106 shall apply to sub-paragraph (1) as they apply to subsections (2) and (3) of that section.

then, to the extent that the rules of the scheme are inconsistent with any provision of this Act derived from provision made by paragraph 16(1) or (2) or 17(1) to (3) of Schedule 6 to the M10Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (by virtue of which—

(i)section 23(3) applies to all protected rights and not only such rights as are mentioned in section 6(2) or (3);

(b)were not such that primary Class 1 contributions within Bracket 3 fell to be paid in respect of them,

it shall be assumed for the purposes of sections 54(4) and 57(2) that his earnings paid in that period were such that, taking the rate specified in Bracket 3 as the appropriate rate, the same amount of primary Class 1 contributions fell to be paid in respect of them as in fact fell to be paid in respect of them; and in this paragraph “Bracket 3” has the meaning given in section 9(3) of the M12Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992.

(2)Section 59(3) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), in so far as it applies as respects section 54(4), as if the reference in paragraph (b) of section 59(3) to earnings included a reference to earnings relevant for any purpose of that sub-paragraph.

(3)Where [F31Inland Revenue have] acted in pursuance of section 59(3) as applied by sub-paragraph (2) and [F32they subsequently ascertain] the amount of those earnings—

(a)if [F33they] appears to the [F34Inland Revenue] that the amount of the contributions equivalent premium would have been less if the [F34Inland Revenue] had not made the calculation on the basis described in sub-paragraph (1), [F33they] shall refund the difference to the prescribed person, and

(b)if it appears to [F34Inland Revenue] that that premium would have been greater if [F33they] had not done so, the prescribed person shall pay the difference to [F35them].
