# The Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2008, Regulation 9: Members’ contributions: lower rate rights

Extent: E+W+S
Status: prospective

(1) Subject to paragraph (4), the contribution rates set out in the table in regulation 3(2) of the Benefits Regulations (“the 2007 table”) do not apply to a person to whom regulation 12(3) of the 1997 Regulations, as continued in effect by regulation 3(2), applies.
(2) Instead, the contribution rate to be applied to such a member is calculated in accordance with the following table—
Year commencing
Contribution rate
1st April 2008
5.25%
1st April 2009
5.5%
1st April 2010
6.5%
(3) But if the application of the table set out in paragraph (2) would result in a member’s contribution rate being greater that if the table applied, his contribution is paid at the lower rate.
(4) After 31st March 2011, such a member makes contributions in accordance with the 2007 table.
