C1C3CHAPTER 1Application etc

Exclusions

554WExclusions: certain retirement benefits etc

1

This section applies if—

a

a relevant benefit is provided under a relevant scheme by way of a payment of a lump sum wholly out of rights which A has under the scheme,

b

A's rights out of which the lump sum is paid are, wholly or partly, pre-6 April 2011 lump sum rights, and

c

the payment of the lump sum is a relevant step within section 554C.

2

Chapter 2 does not apply by reason of the relevant step.

3

If A's rights out of which the lump sum is paid are only partly pre-6 April 2011 lump sum rights, the relevant step is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as being two separate relevant steps—

a

one in relation to the lump sum so far as it is paid out of rights which are pre-6 April 2011 lump sum rights, and

b

one in relation to the lump sum so far as it is paid out of rights which are not pre-6 April 2011 lump sum rights,

with subsection (2) applying only in relation to the separate relevant step mentioned in paragraph (a).

4

In order to give effect to subsection (3), the lump sum is to be apportioned between the two separate relevant steps on a just and reasonable basis.

5

In this section—

  • “pre-6 April 2011 lump sum rights” means rights, which accrued before 6 April 2011, specifically to receive relevant benefits by way of lump sum payments,

  • “relevant benefit” has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 6, and

  • “relevant scheme” means an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme (within the meaning of that Chapter) or a superannuation fund to which section 615(3) of ICTA applies.
