- (a) the increased annual rate of the pension, and
- (b) the rate at which it was payable on the day on which the individual became entitled to it.
Benefit crystallisation event 3: threshold annual rate
10A
- (1) This paragraph applies for the purposes of benefit crystallisation event 3.
- (2) The threshold annual rate is the annual rate of the pension on the date of which the increase date is the first anniversary, increased by the greatest of—
- (a) the relevant percentage rate,
- (b) the relevant indexation percentage, and
- (c) £250,
and rounded up in accordance with sub-paragraph (8).
- (3) But if the person became entitled to the pension after the date of which the increase date is the first anniversary, the threshold annual rate is the annual rate of the pension on the date on which the person became entitled to the pension, increased and rounded up as mentioned in sub-paragraph (2).
- (4) The increase date is the date on which the individual becomes entitled to payment of the pension at the increased annual rate.
- (5) The relevant percentage rate is—
- (a) in a case where the pension is paid under a pension scheme, or an arrangement under a pension scheme, in relation to which the relevant valuation factor is a number greater than 20, the rate agreed by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs and the scheme administrator, and
- (b) otherwise, 5%.
- (6) The relevant indexation percentage means—
- (a) if the retail prices index for the reference month is higher than the retail prices index for the same calendar month in the previous year, the percentage increase in the retail prices index, and
- (b) if it is not, 0%.
- (7) The scheme administrator may select as the reference month any month in the period of 12 months ending with the month in which the increase date falls.
- (8) An amount is rounded up in accordance with this sub-paragraph if it is rounded up to the next greatest amount which—
- (a) where the pension is payable monthly, gives an amount of whole pounds when divided by 12, or
- (b) where the pension is payable weekly, gives an amount of whole pounds when divided by 52.
- (9) If the pension is under a public service pension scheme, any abatement of the pension is to be left out of account in determining for the purposes of this paragraph the annual rate of the pension on the date of which the increase date is the first anniversary (or, where sub-paragraph (3) applies, the date on which the person became entitled to the pension).
- (10) An individual who becomes entitled to payment of a scheme pension at an increased annual rate on 29 February in any year is to be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as having become so entitled on 28 February in that year.
- (11) The Treasury may by order substitute for the amount for the time being specified in sub-paragraph (2)(c) a different amount (including an amount to be calculated as a percentage of the standard lifetime allowance).
Unauthorised payment charge: taxable property
7A
- (1) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations make provision for a transfer member of a relevant non-UK scheme to be liable to the unauthorised payment charge in the same or similar circumstances to those in which—
- (a) a member of a registered pension scheme is liable to that charge by virtue of section 174A and Schedule 29A (taxable property held by investment-regulated pension scheme),
- (b) the scheme administrator of such a scheme is liable to the scheme sanction charge by virtue of section 185A (income from taxable property) or 185F (gains from taxable property), or
- (c) a member of such a scheme is liable to the scheme sanction charge by virtue of those provisions in consequence of provision made by regulations under section 273ZA.
- (2) The regulations may—
- (a) make provision for the application of any or all of the taxable property provisions in relation to a transfer member of a relevant non-UK scheme subject to any omissions, additions and other modifications contained in the regulations,
- (b) include provision having effect in relation to times before they are made,
- (c) contain transitional provisions and savings, and
- (d) make different provision for different cases.
11A
- (1) This paragraph applies where—
- (a) paragraph 7 applies in relation to an individual immediately before the individual's death (and any calculation required by paragraph 11 does not mean that there is then no longer a primary protection factor),
- (b) a person is paid a defined benefits lump sum death benefit or an uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual, and
- (c) notice of intention to rely on this paragraph is given to an officer of Revenue and Customs by that person in accordance with regulations made by the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
- (2) If the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits (see paragraphs 11B to 11D) exceeds RR (as adjusted under paragraph 11, where that paragraph applies), the primary protection factor is to be recalculated.
- (3) The re-calculation involves taking RR to be the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits and arriving at a revised primary protection factor.
- (4) The revised primary protection factor operates in relation to—
- (a) the relevant benefit crystallisation event consisting of the payment of the lump sum death benefit, and
- (b) any other relevant benefit crystallisation event consisting of the payment of a lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual.
- (5) In this paragraph “relevant benefit crystallisation event” has the same meaning as in section 637S of ITEPA 2003 (availability of individual’s lump sum and death benefit allowance).
11B
- (1) This paragraph and paragraphs 11C and 11D specify the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits.
- (2) Subject to paragraphs 11C and 11D, the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits is the aggregate of the maximum amounts that could have been paid—
- (a) in respect of the individual as uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits, and
- (b) under relevant pension arrangements relating to the individual,
if the individual had died on 5th April 2006.
- (3) Lump sum death benefits are “uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits” if they are attributable to rights in respect of which the individual had not, on 5th April 2006, become entitled to the present payment of benefits.
- (4) An arrangement is a “relevant pension arrangement” if it is an arrangement under a pension scheme within paragraph 1(1).
11C
- (1) In arriving at the aggregate mentioned in paragraph 11B(2) the following amounts are to be left out of account—
- (a) in the case of any lump sum death benefit which could have been paid under a pension scheme in the case of which approval could have been withdrawn under section 591B, 620(7) or 650 of ICTA, any amount in excess of the permitted limit (see sub-paragraph (2)), and
- (b) in the case of any lump sum death benefit which could have been paid under an arrangement in the case of which rights to such a benefit are commuted into prospective rights to receive dependants' pensions, any dependants' pension proportion amount (see sub-paragraphs (3) and (4)).
- (2) An “amount in excess of the permitted limit” is so much (if any) of the maximum amount of any lump sum death benefit as could not have been paid without having given grounds for withdrawing approval of the pension scheme under section 591B, 620(7) or 650 of ICTA.
- (3) A “dependants' pension proportion amount” is so much (if any) of the maximum amount of any lump sum death benefit which could have been paid under the arrangement as is the dependants' pension proportion of the lump sum death benefit.
- (4) The dependants' pension proportion is—
$$UTA-TAUTA$where— TA is the amount which, at the time when a defined benefits lump sum death benefit or uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefit is first paid in respect of the individual, is the aggregate of the maximum amounts of any defined benefits lump sum death benefits or uncrystallised funds lump sum death benefits which could be paid under the arrangement in respect of the individual, andUTA is what TA would be if no prospective rights to the payment of any of those lump sum death benefits had been commuted into prospective rights to receive dependants' pensions.$
11D

- (a) was not an occupational pension scheme, or
- (b) was an occupational pension scheme with fewer than 20 members.

- (b) to comply with the Part 5 of the Equality Act 2010, so far as relating to age, or the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006 (or any regulations amending or replacing those Regulations.),
the new policy is to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) as if it were the same as the old.
- (2C) For this purpose a policy of life insurance is surrendered and a new one is taken out as part of a retirement-benefit activities compliance exercise if—
- (a) the surrender of the old policy and taking out of the new policy constitute or form part of a transaction the purpose of which is to secure that the activities of the pension scheme are limited to retirement-benefit activities within the meaning of section 255 of the Pensions Act 2004 or Article 232 of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 2005, and
- (b) the rights under the old policy and the new policy are not significantly different.

- (b) that person was a sponsoring employer in relation to the pension scheme on 5th April 2006, and
- (c) the individual had not become entitled to the present payment of benefits in respect of rights under the pension scheme before the time when the individual died.

- (2) For the purposes of paragraph 13(b), if the amount yielded by sub-paragraph (3) is greater than what would otherwise be the appropriate limit in relation to a relevant event which consists of—
- (a) the payment of the lump sum death benefit, or
- (b) the payment of any other lump sum death benefit in respect of the individual under the arrangement or another cash balance arrangement or defined benefits arrangement related to the arrangement,
that greater amount is the appropriate limit in relation to such a relevant event.
- (3) The amount yielded by this sub-paragraph is the greater of—
- (a) the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits, as increased by the relevant indexation percentage (see sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 15), or
- (b) what would be the value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits on the assumptions specified in sub-paragraph (6) of that paragraph (but subject to the modifications in sub-paragraph (7) of this paragraph).
- (4) The value of the individual's pre-commencement rights to death benefits is the aggregate of the maximum amounts that could have been paid in respect of the individual as uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits under—
- (a) the arrangement, or
- (b) any other cash balance arrangement or defined benefits arrangement related to the arrangement,
if the individual had died on 5th April 2006.
- (5) Lump sum death benefits are “uncrystallised rights lump sum death benefits” if they are attributable to rights in respect of which the individual had not, on 5th April 2006, become entitled to the present payment of benefits.
- (6) Paragraphs 11C and 11D apply in arriving at the aggregate mentioned in sub-paragraph (4) as in arriving at that mentioned in paragraph 11B(2) but as if—
- (a) each of the references to paragraph 11B(2) were to sub-paragraph (4) of this paragraph, and
