13U.K.The amendments made by Part 1 have effect for the tax year 2012-13 and subsequent tax years.
14(1)This paragraph applies on and after 6 April 2012 in the case of an individual—U.K.
(a)who has one or more arrangements under a registered pension scheme on that date,
(b)in relation to whom paragraph 7 of Schedule 36 to FA 2004 (primary protection) does not make provision for a lifetime allowance enhancement factor, and
(c)in relation to whom paragraph 12 of that Schedule (enhanced protection) does not apply on that date,
if notice of intention to rely on it is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs.
F1(2). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(3)Part 4 of FA 2004 has effect in relation to the individual as if the standard lifetime allowance were the greater of the standard lifetime allowance and £1,800,000 (the standard lifetime allowance for the tax year 2011-12).
(4)But this paragraph ceases to apply if on or after 6 April 2012—
(a)there is benefit accrual in relation to the individual under an arrangement under a registered pension scheme,
(b)there is an impermissible transfer into any arrangement under a registered pension scheme relating to the individual,
(c)a transfer of sums or assets held for the purposes of, or representing accrued rights under, any such arrangement is made that is not a permitted transfer, or
(d)an arrangement relating to the individual is made under a registered pension scheme otherwise than in permitted circumstances.
(5)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(a) there is benefit accrual in relation to the individual under an arrangement—
(a)in the case of a money purchase arrangement that is not a cash balance arrangement, if a relevant contribution is paid under the arrangement on or after 6 April 2012,
(b)in the case of a cash balance arrangement or a defined benefits arrangement, if there is an increase in the value of the individual's rights under the arrangement at any time on or after that date (but subject to sub-paragraph (12)), and
(c)in the case of a hybrid arrangement—
(i)where the benefits that may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement include money purchase benefits other than cash balance benefits, if a relevant contribution is paid under the arrangement on or after 6 April 2012, and
(ii)in any case, if there is an increase in the value of the individual's rights under the arrangement at any time on or after that date (but subject to sub-paragraph (12)).
(6)For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (5)(b) and (c)(ii) and (12) whether there is an increase in the value of the individual's rights under the arrangement (and its amount if there is) is to be determined—
(a)in the case of a cash balance arrangement (or a hybrid arrangement under which cash balance benefits may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement), by reference to whether there is an increase in the amount that would, on the valuation assumptions, be available for the provision of benefits to or in respect of the member (and, if there is, the amount of the increase), and
(b)in the case of a defined benefits arrangement (or a hybrid arrangement under which defined benefits may be provided to or in respect of the individual under the arrangement), by reference to whether there is an increase in the benefits amount.
(7)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (6)(b) “the benefits amount” is—
where—
LS is F2... the lump sum to which the individual would, on the valuation assumptions, be entitled under the arrangement (otherwise than by commutation of pension);
P is the annual rate of the pension which would, on the valuation assumptions, be payable to the individual under the arrangement;
RVF is the relevant valuation factor.
(8)Paragraph 17A of Schedule 36 to FA 2004 (impermissible transfers) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(b) but as if the references to a relevant existing arrangement were to the arrangement and the reference in sub-paragraph (2) to 5 April 2006 were to 5 April 2012.
(9)Sub-paragraphs (7) to (8B) of paragraph 12 of Schedule 36 to FA 2004 (when there is a permitted transfer) apply for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(c); and where there is a permitted transfer—
(a)if it is a permitted transfer by virtue of sub-paragraph (8)(a) of paragraph 12, this paragraph applies in relation to the arrangement to which the transfer is made,
(b)if it is a permitted transfer by virtue of sub-paragraph (8)(b) of that paragraph, this paragraph applies in relation to the arrangement to which the transfer is made as if it were the same as that from which it is made, and
(c)if it is a permitted transfer by virtue of sub-paragraph (8)(c) of that paragraph, this paragraph applies in relation to the arrangement to which the transfer is made as if it were the same as that from which it is made and (if the employment is transferred) as if the employment with the transferee were the employment with the transferor.
(10)Sub-paragraphs (2A) to (2C) of paragraph 12 of Schedule 36 to FA 2004 (“permitted circumstances”) apply for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)(d).
(11)Paragraph 14 of Schedule 36 to FA 2004 (when a relevant contribution is paid under an arrangement) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5)(a)[F3and (c)(i)].
(12)Increases in the value of the individual's rights under an arrangement are to be ignored for the purposes of sub-paragraph (5)(b) or (c)(ii) if in no tax year do they exceed the relevant percentage.
(13)The relevant percentage, in relation to a tax year, means—
(a)where the arrangement (or a predecessor arrangement) includes provision for the value of the rights of the individual to increase during the tax year at an annual rate specified in the rules of the pension scheme (or a predecessor registered pension scheme) on 9 December 2010, that percentage (or, where more than one arrangement does so the higher or highest of the percentages so specified), and
(b)otherwise, the percentage by which the consumer prices index for the month of September in the previous tax year is higher than it was for the same month in the period of 12 months (or nil per cent if it is not higher).
(14)In sub-paragraph (13)(a)—
“predecessor arrangement”, in relation to an arrangement, means another arrangement (under the same or another registered pension scheme) from which some or all of the sums or assets held for the purposes of the arrangement directly or indirectly derive;
“predecessor registered pension scheme”, in relation to a pension scheme, means another registered pension scheme from which some or all of the sums or assets held for the purposes of the arrangement under the pension scheme directly or indirectly derive.

F4(16). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
F4(17). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
(18)Expressions used in this paragraph and Part 4 of FA 2004 have the same meaning in this paragraph as in that Part.
