# The Judicial Pensions (Fee-Paid Judges) Regulations 2017, Regulation 128I: Limits on contributions by unretired FPJABS members


(1) The aggregate amount of the lump sum payments an unretired FPJABS member may make is the smaller of—
(a) the amount equal to the sum of the amounts determined for each tax year during the period beginning with the assumed contribution commencement date and ending with the day before the periodic contributions start date in accordance with the following formula—
(15×FI100)–Cwhere—
FI is the unretired FJABS member’s annual fee income for the tax year in question which is subject to income tax, or if lower, the permitted maximum for that tax year
C is the sum of any contributions made by the unretired FPJABS member to any other judicial pension scheme in that tax year, excluding any contributions made by the member in accordance with regulation 3 of the Judicial Pensions (Contributions) Regulations 2012; and
(b) the amount determined in accordance with the formula—
(C×DE)×Fwhere—
C is the cost of one added unit of benefit
D is the number of added units of benefit which the unretired FPJABS member has notified to the administrators that the member would like to purchase
E is the period beginning with the assumed contribution commencement date and ending with the assumed retirement date, expressed in years and any fraction of a year
F is the period beginning with the assumed contribution commencement date and ending with the day before the periodic contributions start date, expressed in years and any fraction of a year.
(2) The unretired FPJABS member’s “annual fee income” for the purposes of paragraph (1) is the total of the fees paid to that member in eligible fee-paid offices for which benefits are to be calculated under the pre-1995 provisions in respect of qualifying fee-paid days in the tax year concerned.
(3) The maximum aggregate amount of periodic contributions an unretired FPJABS member may make is calculated in accordance with the formula—
((C×DE)×F)+Xwhere—
C is the cost of one added unit of benefit
D is the number of added units of benefit which the unretired FPJABS member has notified to the administrators that the member would like to purchase
E is the period beginning with the assumed contribution commencement date and ending with the assumed retirement date, expressed in years and any fraction of a year
F is the period beginning with the unretired FPJABS member’s periodic contributions start date and ending with the assumed retirement date, expressed in years and any fraction of a year
X is the difference between the maximum amount which the unretired FPJABS member could have contributed under regulation 128G(3) and the amount the member actually contributed under that provision.
(4) In this regulation, “the periodic contributions start date” has the same meaning as in regulation 128G(4).
