Regulation 15 Annual allowance charge

(1)

This regulation applies to a person (P) who—

(a)

is a member of an old scheme whether by virtue of pensionable service for that scheme or deemed transfer scheme service under paragraph 2 of Schedule 7 to the 2013 Act;

(b)

is a member of the new scheme by virtue of pensionable service for the new scheme; and

(c)

becomes entitled to payment of an ill-health pension under the transitional provisions of the new scheme.

(2)

Section 234 of the Finance Act 2004^f1 (defined benefits arrangements) is modified in its application to P as specified in paragraph (3).

(3)
