# The Financial Assistance Scheme (Tax) Regulations 2010, Regulation 3: Payments to the Secretary of State

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

(1) This regulation applies where as a result of the transfer of the property, rights and liabilities of a registered pension scheme to the Secretary of State an employer is required to pay a sum to the Secretary of State.
(2) Where section 199 of the FA 2004 (deemed contributions) would have applied if the payment had been made to the trustees or managers of the scheme, that section applies in relation to the payment in the same way as it applies in relation to a sum paid to the trustees or managers of a registered pension scheme.
(3) Where the payment does not fall within paragraph (2), section 200 of the FA 2004 (no other relief for employers in connection with contributions) applies in relation to it in the same way that section applies in relation to a sum other than a contribution paid in connection with the cost of providing benefits under a registered pension scheme.
