28.—(1) When a person becomes a beneficiary of a pension sharing order, a pension credit member account must be opened.
(2) The pension credit account at the date it is opened must be credited from the member's pension account that is to be debited with an amount in compliance with the pension sharing order and calculated in accordance with actuarial guidance issued by the Scottish Ministers.
(3) The amount credited under paragraph (2) is the opening balance for the following Scheme year and, thereafter, the balance in the account each year is adjusted by the index rate adjustment from the date that an increase would apply if that balance were a pension in payment to which the Pensions (Increase) Act 1971 applied.
(4) The amount in a pension credit account may be adjusted by amounts calculated in accordance with actuarial guidance issued by the Scottish Ministers—
(a)as a result of a further pension sharing order; or
(b)to account for any tax to which the administering authority may become liable under the Finance Act 2004 in accordance with regulation 82 (tax).
