1

Where this paragraph applies in relation to a pension commencement lump sum paid to the member, the pension scheme is to be treated as making to the member an unauthorised payment of the appropriate amount.

2

a

because of the lump sum, the amount of the contributions paid by or on behalf of, or in respect of, the member to the pension scheme, or to any other registered pension scheme, is significantly greater than it otherwise would be, and

b

the member envisaged at the relevant time that that would be so.

3

This paragraph does not apply in relation to any lump sum paid to the member on any day if the amount of the lump sum, when added to any other pension commencement lump sum paid to the member within the period of 12 months ending with that day, does not exceed F29£7,500.

4

This paragraph does not apply if the amount by which the contributions paid as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a) is greater than it otherwise would be because of the lump sum does not exceed 30% of the amount of the lump sum.

F194A

This paragraph does not apply if—

a

the member has reached the age of 75 when the contributions are paid as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2)(a), and

b

the contributions are not paid by an employer of the member.

F215

“The appropriate amount” is F57the amount of the lump sum.

b

otherwise, the time when the lump sum is paid.

F463B

1

Sub-paragraph (2) applies if—

a

sums or assets held for the purposes of, or representing accrued rights under, a money purchase arrangement relating to the member under a registered pension scheme (“member money purchase funds”) are subject to a relevant surrender or a relevant transfer,

b

the sole or main purpose of the relevant surrender or relevant transfer is to increase the applicable amount for the purposes of paragraph 2 on the member becoming entitled to a scheme pension, and

c

the member becomes entitled to a scheme pension under a relevant defined benefits arrangement.

2

The pension scheme under which the relevant defined benefits arrangement is an arrangement is to be treated as making an unauthorised payment to the member of the amount by which—

a

the applicable amount in relation to the relevant defined benefits arrangement (as determined under paragraph 2C), exceeds

b

what would be the applicable amount (as determined under paragraph 2D) if the arrangement were a money purchase arrangement.

3

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—

a

member money purchase funds are subject to a “relevant surrender” if they are surrendered and, in consequence of the surrender, there is a corresponding increase in the sums or assets held for the purposes of, or representing rights under, a defined benefits arrangement relating to the member under the pension scheme (or such an arrangement is established), and

a

the defined benefits arrangement mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) of sub-paragraph (3), or

b

any other defined benefits arrangement relating to the member (under the pension scheme or any other registered pension scheme) in the case of which any of the sums or assets held for the purposes of, or representing accrued rights under, the arrangement directly or indirectly represent sums or assets previously held for the purposes of, or representing accrued rights under, the defined benefits arrangement so mentioned.

Short service refund lump sum

5

1

For the purposes of this Part a lump sum is a short service refund lump sum if—

a

the pension scheme is an occupational pension scheme,

b

the member’s pensionable service was terminated before normal pension age but the member is not entitled to short service benefit by virtue of section 71 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (c. 48) (basic principle as to short service benefit),

F75c

the member has not previously become entitled to any pension or lump sum under the pension scheme,

d

it extinguishes the member’s entitlement to benefits under the pension scheme F6(except to the extent that it is prohibited from being extinguished by the payment of a lump sum by reason of the operation of provision made by or under any enactment), and

e

it is paid when the member has not reached the age of 75.

2

But if a lump sum falling within sub-paragraph (1) exceeds an amount equal to the aggregate of the member’s contributions under the pension scheme, the excess is not a short service refund lump sum.

F252A

In sub-paragraph (2) the reference to the member's contributions includes—

a

any amount paid under section 7 of the Social Security Act 1986 (incentive payments to schemes becoming contracted-out between 1986 and 1993),

b

any amount paid by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs under section 42A(3) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 or section 38A(3) of the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993 (rebates), and

c

any amount recovered by the member's employer under regulations falling within sub-paragraph (2B) in respect of minimum payments made to the scheme in relation to any period before 6 April 2012.

2B

Those regulations are regulations which were made under—

a

section 8(3) of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (recovery of minimum payments), or

b

section 4(3) of the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland).

3

Pensionable service”, “normal pension age” and “short service benefit” have the same meaning as in the Pension Schemes Act 1993 (see section 181 (1) of that Act).

Refund of excess contributions lump sum

6

1

A lump sum is a refund of excess contributions lump sum if—

a

it is paid in respect of a tax year in which the excess contributions condition is met in respect of the member, and

b

it is paid before the end of the period of six years beginning with the last day of the tax year in respect of which it is paid.

2

But if a lump sum falling within sub-paragraph (1) exceeds the member’s available excess contributions allowance for the tax year in respect of which it is paid, the excess is not a refund of excess contributions lump sum.

3

The excess contributions condition is met in respect of a member and a tax year if the amount of relievable pension contributions (see section 188(2) and (3)) paid in respect of the member in the tax year exceeds the maximum amount of relief to which the member is entitled for the tax year under section 190 (annual limit for relief).

4

If no refund of excess contributions lump sum has been paid to the member in respect of a tax year (by any registered pension scheme), the available excess contributions allowance for that tax year is F8(subject to sub-paragraph (7))

RPC-MARmath

5

If one or more refund of excess contributions lump sums have been paid to the member in respect of a tax year, the available excess contributions allowance for that tax year is F9(subject to sub-paragraph (7))

RPC-MAR-ALSmath

or, if the amount resulting from that calculation is negative, is nil.

6

In this paragraph—

  • RPC is the amount of the relievable pension contributions paid in respect of the member in the tax year,

  • MAR is the maximum amount of relief to which the member is entitled for the tax year under section 190, and

  • ALS is the aggregate of the refund of excess contributions lump sums previously paid to the member in respect of the tax year.

F77

If any relief given in accordance with section 192(1) in relation to any contribution included in RPC is in excess of the maximum amount of relief to which the member is entitled under section 190, RPC is to be taken to be reduced by the amount of that excess.

Trivial commutation lump sum

7

1

For the purposes of this Part a lump sum is a trivial commutation lump sum if—

C12a

it is paid when no trivial commutation lump sum has previously been paid to the member (by any registered pension scheme) or, if such a lump sum has previously been paid, before the end of the commutation period,

F30aa

it is paid in respect of a defined benefits arrangement, F38or in respect of a collective money purchase arrangement,F34or in respect of a scheme pension payable by the scheme administrator to which the member has become entitled under a money purchase arrangement F39that is not a collective money purchase arrangement (an “in-payment money-purchase in-house scheme pension”), F40or in respect of any combination of such arrangements and scheme pensions,

C12b

on the nominated date, the value of the member’s pension rights does not exceed the commutation limit,

c

it is paid when all or part of the member’s F76lump sum allowance is available (see paragraph 12A),

d

it extinguishes F31any entitlement to defined benefits F37, and any entitlement to collective money purchase benefits,F33, and any entitlement to payments of in-payment money-purchase in-house scheme pensions, that the member has under the pension scheme, and

e

it is paid when the member has reached F32normal minimum pension age (or the ill-health condition is met)F24....

2

The commutation period is the period beginning with the day on which a trivial commutation lump sum is first paid to the member and ending 12 months after that day.

3

The nominated date is the day within the period of three months ending with the first day of the commutation period nominated by the member (or, if no date is nominated, is the first day of the commutation period).

4

The commutation limit is F27£30,000.

F234A

The Treasury may by order substitute for the amount for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (4) such larger amount as is specified in the order.

5

The value of the member’s pension rights on the nominated date is the aggregate of—

a

the value of the member’s relevant crystallised pension rights on that date (calculated in accordance with paragraph 8), and

b

the value of the member’s uncrystallised rights on that date (calculated in accordance with paragraph 9).

1

The value of the member’s uncrystallised rights on the nominated date is the aggregate value of the member’s uncrystallised rights on that date under each arrangement relating to the member under a registered pension scheme.

2

The value on the nominated date of the member’s uncrystallised rights under such an arrangement is to be calculated in accordance with section 212 (valuation of uncrystallised rights for purposes of section 210).

Winding-up lump sum

10

1

For the purposes of this Part a lump sum is a winding-up lump sum if—

a

the pension scheme is an occupational pension scheme,

b

the pension scheme is being wound-up,

c

F10any person by whom the member is employed at the time when the lump sum is paid, and who has made contributions under the pension scheme in respect of the member within the period of five years ending with the day on which it is paid, meets the conditions in sub-paragraph (3),

d

it is paid when all or part of the member’s F80lump sum allowance is available (see paragraph 12A), F16and

e

it extinguishes the member’s entitlement to benefits under the pension scheme, F17...

F17f

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2

But if a lump sum falling within sub-paragraph (1) exceeds F18£18,000, the excess is not a winding-up lump sum.

F152A

The Treasury may by order substitute for the amount for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (2) such larger amount as is specified in the order.

3

The conditions F11referred to in paragraph (c) of sub-paragraph (1) are that the person mentioned in that paragraph

F12a

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
