Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 632(1) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 provides that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue shall not approve a personal pension scheme established by any person other than those mentioned in that sub-section. Section 632(4) provides that the Treasury may by Order amend that section.

This Order, which comes into force on 1st October 2000, provides that a personal pension scheme set up in the form of a trust may be established not only by the existing categories of persons in section 632(1), but also by any other person.
