212Valuation of uncrystallised rights for purposes of section 210U.K.

(1)Rights are uncrystallised if the member is not entitled to the present payment of benefits in respect of the rights.

(2)The member is to be treated as entitled to the present payment of benefits in respect of the sums and assets representing the [F1member's drawdown pension fund] [F2or the member's flexi-access drawdown fund].

(3)The value of the member’s uncrystallised rights under [F3an arrangement] on any date is to be calculated—

(a)in accordance with subsection (4) if the arrangement is a cash balance arrangement,

(b)in accordance with subsection (5) if the arrangement is a money purchase arrangement [F4that is neither a cash balance arrangement nor a collective money purchase arrangement],

(c)in accordance with subsection (6) if the arrangement is a defined benefits arrangement [F5or a collective money purchase arrangement], and

(d)in accordance with subsection (7) if the arrangement is a hybrid arrangement.

(4)If this subsection applies, the value of the member’s uncrystallised rights under the arrangement on the date is the amount which would, on the valuation assumptions (see section 277), be available for the provision of benefits in respect of those rights if the member became entitled to benefits in respect of those rights on the date.

(5)If this subsection applies, the value of the member’s uncrystallised rights under the arrangement on the date is the aggregate of—

(a)the amount of such of the sums held for the purposes of the arrangement on the date as represent those rights, and

(b)the market value of such of the assets held for the purposes of the arrangement on the date as represent those rights.

(6)If this subsection applies, the value of the member’s uncrystallised rights under the arrangement on the date is—

where—

RVF is the relevant valuation factor (see section 276),

ARP is the annual rate of pension to which the member would, on the valuation assumptions, be entitled under the arrangement on the date if, on the date, the member acquired an actual (rather than a prospective) right to receive a pension in respect of the rights, and

LS is the amount of any lump sum to which the member would, on the valuation assumptions, be entitled under the arrangement on the date (otherwise than by way of commutation of pension) if, on the date, the member acquired an actual (rather than a prospective) right to payment of a lump sum in respect of the rights.

[F6(7)If this subsection applies, the value of the member's uncrystallised rights under the arrangement on the date (“the hybrid value”) is to be calculated by taking the following steps—

(8)For the purposes of this section a variety of benefits is “relevant” in relation to a hybrid arrangement if, in any circumstances, benefits of that variety may be provided under the arrangement.

(9)In this section “variety of benefits” means a variety of benefits specified in section 152(10).]
