(This note is not part of the Order.)

This Order, which corresponds to an Order (S.I. 1998/944) made by the Secretary of State for Social Security under section 45A of the Pension Schemes Act 1993, specifies with effect from 6th April 1999 the appropriate age-related percentages of earnings payable as minimum contributions in respect of members of appropriate personal pension schemes. It also amends the Social Security (Minimum Contributions to Appropriate Personal Pension Schemes) Order (Northern Ireland) 1996 to restrict its application to the tax years 1997-98 and 1998-99.
