Finance Act 2004

11(1)This paragraph applies where—U.K.

(a)paragraph 7 [F1applies] in relation to an individual, and

(b)on or after 6th April 2006, the rights of the individual under a relevant pension arrangement (see paragraph 8(2)) relating to the individual are reduced by becoming subject to a pension debit.

(2)The primary protection factor (see [F2paragraph 7(5)]) is to be recalculated.

(3)The recalculation involves reducing RR (see [F3paragraph 7(5)]) by the amount by which the individual’s rights are reduced and arriving at a revised primary protection factor.

(4)The revised primary protection factor operates in relation to any [F4relevant benefit crystallisation event] occurring in relation to the individual after the time when the individual’s rights are reduced by becoming subject to the pension debit.

[F5(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).]
