Regulation 5 Transfer payments from one personal pension scheme to another—additional obligation to hand over a lump sum certificate where any of the payments originated from certain schemes mentioned in Chapter II1
United Kingdom
Subject to paragraph (2), the administrator of a personal pension scheme (“the paying scheme”) from which a transfer payment is made in the circumstances described in paragraph (3) shall, on the making of the payment, give the certificate referred to in paragraph (3)(b) to the administrator of the personal pension scheme to which the payment is made (“the receiving scheme”).
Where only one (or some) of the arrangements made by the individual in accordance with the scheme is being transferred, the administrator of the paying scheme shall apportion any amount shown on the certificate on a proportionate basis, and shall prepare and sign replacement certificates in respect of each part of the funds (including in a case where the amount is nil), and shall give the replacement certificate relating to the funds transferred to the administrator of the receiving scheme.
The circumstances described in this paragraph are where the transfer payment is made from the paying scheme to another personal pension scheme and—
the payment or part of the payment had its origin in a transfer payment (“the original payment”) from an approved retirement benefits scheme or a relevant statutory scheme, and
the administrator of the paying scheme holds a certificate which was given in relation to the original payment or any other event showing either—
that an amount is payable out of that payment by way of lump sum to the individual in respect of whom the transfer payment will be made, on his pension date, or
that no amount is payable out of that payment by way of lump sum to that individual on his pension date.
