Download or read book Occupational and Personal Pension Schemes written by Great Britain. Dept. for Work and Pensions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers the review of the rebate by the Government Actuary for people with salary-related contracted-out schemes (COSRS), money purchase contracted out schemes (COMPS) and Appropriate Personal Pensions (APPS) in relation to the five year period commencing on 6 April 2007. Rebates appropriate for members of APPs and COMPs would also be appropriate where such schemes are stakeholder pensions, under the terms of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999. The paper sets out two reports on occupational and personal pension schemes, one by the Government Actuary and the other by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. Under the Pension Schemes Act 1993, a review is required every 5 years of the percentages specified in section 41 of the Act for the reduction in the Class I National Insurance contributions for members of salary-related contracted-out schemes (COSRS), known as the rebate. The review should cover any changes in the factors affecting the cost to occupational pension schemes. Separate requirements exist for members of money purchase contracted-out schemes (COMPs). The previous review was published in March 2001 (Cm.5076, ISBN 0101507623). April 2007 and may continue to apply until April 2012, though recommendations on the future of contracting out pension schemes as set out in A New Pension Settlement for the Twenty-First Century (ISBN 0117036021), along with Government proposals in a White Paper due in the Spring 2006 may lead to a further review of the reduced rates and rebates of National Insurance contributions.

Download or read book Pensions Bill written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Public Administration Select Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended to inform Members of both Houses on the further proceedings of the Pensions Bill and the Government undertakings relating to the Financial Assistance Scheme that will form part of the Bill. An additional clause to the Bill, clause 18, was added in April 2007, which aimed to increase the scope and benefits given by the Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) so that members of affected pension schemes are now eligible for payments of 80% of their core pension rights up to a cap of £26,000. Eligible schemes are those schemes that started winding up between 1 January 1997 and 5 April 2005, as a result of the sponsoring employer becoming insolvent. Further, the Government has announced it will also include schemes where the sponsoring employer remained solvent, along with a review of the use of assets in FAS pension schemes. The Committee believes the Government should seek ways to do more for improvements to FAS. This report contains a brief description of proposals to extend the Financial Assistance Scheme to cover those who lost pension rights when a solvent employer wound up a scheme. It also includes correspondence from the Department for Work and Pensions.

Download or read book Trusting in the Pensions Promise written by Great Britain: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report sets out the results of the Ombudsman's investigation into over 200 complaints about the security of final salary occupational pension schemes and alleged delays in the winding-up of certain such schemes, and the involvement of public bodies in this matter. Chapter 1 explains the Ombudsman's role and jurisdiction and the background to the investigation. Chapter 2 details the complaints, and the Government's initial response; chapter 3 sets out the results of further enquiries to help understand the context of the complaints. The fourth chapter provides the evidence that the investigation has disclosed through consideration of departmental files, official publications and other documentary sources. Chapters 5 and 6 contain the findings and the recommendations. The seventh chapter gives the Ombudsman's assessment of the Government response (appendix D) to the report, and the final chapter is the Ombudsman's conclusion. The Ombudsman makes three findings of maladministration by public bodies: (i) official information about the security that members of final salary schemes could expect from the minimum funding requirement (MFR) was sometimes inaccurate, often incomplete, largely inconsistent and therefore potentially misleading; (ii) the response by DWP to the actuarial profession's recommendation that disclosure should be made to pension scheme members of the risks of wind-up and the risks to accrued pension rights; (iii) the decision in 2002 by DWP to approve a change to the MFR basis. This maladministration was a significant contributory factor in the creation of the financial losses suffered by individuals, amounting to injustice. Recommendations include restoration of the core pension and non-core benefits and some consolatory payments to those fully covered by the recommendations, an apology to scheme trustees for the effects of the maladministration, and a review with the pensions industry to improve the time taken to wind up schemes. The Government, however, is minded not to comply with all of the recommendations, and so the Ombudsman reports to both Houses of Parliament that she has identified injustice caused by maladministration which the Government does not propose to remedy.

Download or read book Pensions Contracts and Trusts Legal Issues on Decision Making written by David Pollard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a topical area for the courts, which have moved to imply various limitations or tests on decision makers powers and when they can be challenged. This is made more difficult for lay users and lawyers alike in that implied restrictions are (by definition) not apparent from the words of the relevant contract itself. These limits are applied by the courts not just to fiduciaries (such as trustees or directors), but also to non-fiduciaries (eg banks and employers). Recent case law includes: · Pitt v Holt (SC) – trustee decisions (2013) · Braganza (SC) – contractual discretions (2015) · Eclairs (SC) – directors powers: proper purposes (2015) · IBM UK Holdings v Dalgleish (CA) – employer powers under pension plans (2017) · British Airways (CA)– pension plan – proper purposes (2018) The book reviews the relevant doctrines of: · Interpretation rules · Proper purposes; · Due consideration of relevant factors · Full perversity (no reasonable decision maker)
