fact sheet | pension schemes, contributions & tax relief | McBrides
August 22, 2012
6 April 2006 (known as ?A? Day) saw the introduction of unifying rules for all occupational and personal pension schemes that are registered as qualifying for tax relief.
Non-registered pension schemes continue, but without any tax advantages.
contributions
Under the new rules there is no limit to the number of schemes an individual may belong to. Most of the contribution restrictions have been replaced by two overall key controls:
annual allowance (AA)
Annual contributions up to the level of earnings (or ?3,600 gross if greater) attract tax relief. Contributions above these levels will not receive any relief and there will be a tax charge to the extent that the increase in pensions savings in a tax year exceeds the AA.
lifetime allowance (LTA)
This is taken into account whenever benefits are withdrawn. At the first withdrawal, any funds used in excess of the LTA will be taxed at 25% to the extent that they are used to buy a pension or 55% in the case of lump sum payments.
scheme investment
One of the features of the new system was the lifting of restrictions on types of investment, and it is possible for registered pension schemes to invest in more or less anything.
However, the Government removed the tax advantages where self-directed pension schemes invest in residential property or certain other assets such as fine wines, classic cars and art & antiques. This is to prevent people benefiting from tax relief in relation to contributions made for the purpose of funding purchases of holiday or second homes and other prohibited assets for their or their family?s personal use.
Borrowing by schemes to increase investments is limited to 50% of the fund.
tax free lump sums
All schemes now have the ability to offer members a tax free lump sum of up to 25% of their pension fund (limited by the LTA).
benefits
The minimum age for drawing benefits is 55, although people in schemes with early retirement dates will maintain their rights to draw benefits early. It is not necessary to retire before benefits can be drawn.
employers
Employers are able to claim tax relief for contributions paid to a registered pension scheme. Exceptionally large contributions will be spread over 2 to 4 years.
administration
The complex approval process for pension schemes has been replaced by a simplified regime requiring registration only. Schemes that were approved schemes before A-Day have automatically become registered schemes.
Transitional arrangements protect pre A-Day pension rights (including rights to lump sum payments).
pension contributions and tax relief
scheme members
Any member of a registered pension scheme may make unlimited contributions to a registered pension scheme. However to qualify for tax relief a contribution must be a relievable pension contribution made by a relevant UK individual.
Most member contributions are relievable, unless they fall into any of the following categories:
- contributions after age 75
- contributions paid by employers (see below)
- age related rebates or minimum contributions by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to a contracted-out pension scheme
A relevant UK individual is an individual who
- has relevant UK earnings chargeable to income tax for that tax year
- is resident in the UK at some time during the tax year
- was resident in the UK at some time during the immediately preceding five tax years and also when joining the pension scheme
The maximum amount of contributions on which a member can claim relief is the greater of:
- the basic amount (currently ?3,600)
- the amount of the individual?s relevant UK earnings for the tax year
This means that a member who has no relevant UK earnings may still qualify for tax relief on contributions into a registered pension scheme up to the basic amount. The relief in these circumstances can be given only if the contribution is made to a scheme that operates the relief at source (RAS) system.? The relief is available even if the individual is a non-taxpayer.
A registered pension scheme must operate RAS unless the scheme rules specifically provide that it can operate net pay arrangements or accept contributions gross from members.? Under RAS, premiums are paid net of basic rate tax which is claimed back by the scheme administrator. Higher or additional rate relief can be claimed through the member?s Self Assessment tax return.
With net pay arrangements, the employer deducts the relievable pension contribution from employment taxable income before operating PAYE (so tax relief is obtained by paying the contribution out of pre-tax income).? A member making payments in full (that is, out of after-tax income) has to claim the tax relief from HMRC, generally through the Self Assessment system or PAYE code.
If the total contributions result in the Annual allowance being exceeded, there might be a tax charge on the member (see below).
employers
Any employer of a member of a registered pension scheme may make contributions to that registered pension scheme.? Unlike for scheme members, there is no set limit on the amount of tax relief that an employer may receive in respect of its contributions.
other persons
A person other than a member or employer may make a contribution to a registered pension scheme in respect of a member of that scheme.? A person can be an individual, a corporate body or other legal entity.? Where the contribution is paid under RAS, it is only the member who may claim higher rate relief on the contribution.? Where a third party pays a RAS contribution, such contributions are treated as if made by the individual who is the member of the scheme, not the person who made the contribution. The contribution is paid net, and the basic rate tax is claimed by the scheme on behalf of the member, who can claim higher or additional rate relief in the normal way.
refund of contributions
There are two circumstances where contributions to a registered pension scheme may be refunded back to a member:
- short service refund lump sum, where an employee leaves pensionable service within two years of joining an occupational pension scheme (taxable on the scheme administrator)
- refund of excess contributions lump sum, to cover the amount of contributions that cannot receive tax relief (tax free)
annual allowance
The annual allowance (AA) is ?50,000 with effect from 6 April 2011. AA is the amount by which the total pension savings can grow each year; above this value the surplus gives rise to an annual allowance charge as the individual?s top slice of income.
pension savings
Members of defined contribution (DC) schemes, in particular personal pensions (PPs), will need to look at the total of the contributions (whether personal, employer or third party) during the pension input period (PIP) for all of their pension savings. The PIP is usually the scheme year to the anniversary date which falls within the relevant tax year. Members of defined benefits (DB) schemes, such as occupational final salary schemes, will have to work out how much their accrued pension has increased during the PIP (see below for a worked example). Pension scheme administrators will be responsible for providing information to their members on their pensions savings for each tax year if those savings exceed the AA, or at the request of a member.
Example: Self employed personal pension with AA charge
Alison, who is self employed, has taxable income of ?110,000 in 2012-13. She is a member of two different PP schemes. Scheme A has a PIP ending on 31 March; Scheme B?s ends on 30 November. She contributes ?2,000 per month (?2,500 before basic rate tax relief) to Scheme A and ?2,800 per month (?3,500 before tax relief) to Scheme B. She has been contributing similar amounts to these schemes for the previous three tax years. During the tax year ending 5 April 2013, her total pension contributions are:
| Scheme A?? (year to 31 March 2013) | ?30,000 |
| Scheme B???(year to 30 November 2012) | ?42,000 |
| Total pension savings | ?72,000 |
| AA for 2012-2013 | ?(50,000) |
| Excess subject to AA charge | ?22,000 |
The AA charge will therefore be ?8,800 (?22,000 @ 40%). Alison will have had full tax relief of ?28,800 (?72,000 @ 40%) on her pension contributions during the year, so the overall relief is effectively reduced by the AA charge.
The three year carry forward rule
Unused AA for the previous three tax years can be carried forward and added to the current year?s ?50,000 AA. For the tax year 2012-13, the second of the new regime, carry-forward will be available against an assumed AA of ?50,000 for each of the tax years 2009-10 and 2010-11 and the actual AA of ?50,000 for 2011-12. The total usable amount is called the ?available AA?.
No carry forward is available from an earlier tax year unless the individual was a member of a registered pension scheme at some time during that tax year.
Example: Self employed with available AA
Michael is self employed. Each year he pays part of his profits into his PP. His contributions have been:
2011-12 ? ?31,000
2010-11 ? ?75,000
2009-10 ? ?26,000
In 2012-13 Michael has a good trading year and decides to contribute ?92,000 to his PP. He has ?43,000 unused AA that he can carry forward to 2012-13. This is broken down and used as follows:
| ? | Available | Used 2012-2013 |
| 2011-2012 | ?19,000 | ?18,000 |
| 2010-2011 | Nil | - |
| 2009-2010 | ?24,000 | ?24,000 |
| ? | ?43,000 | ?42,000 |
Michael does not have to pay the AA charge on his pension savings of ?92,000. He also still has unused AA of ?2,000 that he can carry forward. Please note that any ?oversaving? in either of the ?assumed AA? years (2009-10 and 2010-11) is ignored.
defined benefit schemes
In defined benefit (DB) schemes, individuals accrue a right to an amount of annual pension from pension age. To treat DC and DB schemes in a comparable way, it is necessary to deem the value of notional contributions in a DB scheme. These notional contributions should reflect what would need to be invested in a DC scheme to deliver the extra annual pension accrued in a DB scheme.
However, the calculation needs to be as simple as possible so a ?flat factor? method will be used. The Government has decided that the level of the factor will be set at 16 meaning, broadly, that an increase in annual pension benefit of ?1,000 would be deemed to be worth ?16,000.
Example: DB scheme
Nicole has been a member of her employer?s DB scheme for 30 years. The scheme provides a pension of 1/60th pensionable pay for each year of service. In her 31st year, she receives a pay rise from ?35,000 to ?45,000.
| Opening annual pension entitlement | 30/60 x ?35,000 = ?17,500 |
| Closing annual pension entitlement | 31/60 x ?45,000 = ?23,250 |
| Increase in annual pension entitlement | ?5,750 |
| Deemed contribution | 16 x ?5,750 = ?92,000 |
So Nicole may have to pay an AA charge on the ?42,000 surplus over the ?50,000 limit, depending on whether carry forward relief is available. The contribution is relatively large in this example due to the combination of long service and a large pay rise.
If Nicole had left the scheme after 30 years, then the pension at the end of year 31 would have been uprated by the CPI. If the CPI increase is assumed to be 2.5%, then her pension earned after 31 years would have risen from ?17,500 to ?17,937, a deemed contribution of only ?6,992 (16 x ?437).
the rate of charge
The AA charge is due on any pension savings over and above the AA available for the year. The effect of the AA charge is to remove tax relief on any pension savings over the available AA and perhaps also to add a liability on employer contributions.
The amount you pay depends on the rate at which tax relief has effectively been given on the excess pension savings, which in turn depends on how much taxable income you have and the amount of your excess pension savings.
To find out the amount of your AA charge you add the amount of your excess pension savings to the amount of relevant income you actually pay tax on. The amount of pension saving:
- over your higher rate limit will be taxed at 50%
- over your basic rate limit but below your higher rate limit will be taxed at 40%
- below your basic rate limit will be taxed at 20%.
Example: Calculation of AA charge
John has ?10,000 excess pension saving on which he has to pay the annual allowance charge. John also has ?142,000 income that he has to pay tax on. The total of John?s taxable income and excess pension saving is ?152,000.
For the purpose of this example the higher rate limit is ?150,000. The basic rate limit is ?40,000. ?2,000 of John?s excess pension saving is above the ?150,000 higher rate limit. ?8,000 of his pension saving is above the basic rate limit but below the higher rate limit.
John?s tax charge is calculated as:
?2,000 @ 50% = ?1,000
?8,000 @ 40% = ?3,200
AA charge???? ???? = ?4,200
lifetime limit
The lifetime limit, which sets the maximum figure for tax-relieved savings in the fund, has been reduced from ?1.8 million to ?1.5 million.
The lifetime limit has to be considered when key events happen, such as when a pension is taken for the first time. If the value of the scheme exceeds the limit a tax charge of 55% of the excess is due.

Atlanta Business Consulting | What Can I Do To Help? | Twelve ...
Since relocating to the Atlanta, Georgia area (Canton, specifically) my family and I have been attending the Northpoint Community Church campus of Watermarke Church. Northpoint was the church we wanted to be a part of, so were glad to find a place to live near one of their campuses.
The church is in a middle of a series entitled ?Future Family? and this past week, Andy touched on the book of Ephesians and that chapter that causes arguments constantly. If you don?t know offhand which one I am talking about, let?s just say it contains the word ?submit.? Now you?ve got it, right?
The core focus of his message however, was far more practical than anything else. He talked about the value of ?mutual submission? within the family and it centered around asking people in your household a simple question:
What can I do to help?
I thought about this and realized it?s impact, not only in our family lives, but in our business roles as well.
One of the things Andy said that really stood out was this:
?You don?t get happy by controlling the people around you.?
Think about that for a moment as it applies to your organization or a team that you lead. Are you getting the results you want from your team by making sure you have complete control over them?
When was the last time you went to a team member or somebody that works for you and said, ?What can I do to help??
If you find a team member is struggling to get a project across the finish line, is it going to be more productive to tell them, ?Get it done or else? or to ask, ?What can I do to help??
Think about the impact you can make upon your team if you took the time to ask, ?Is there anything I can do to help you guys?? from time to time.
Try it.

Did Your Subcontractor Do Poor Work? Your Liability Insurance Might
Did Your Subcontractor Do Poor Work? Your Liability Insurance Might Cover It
A general contractor builds a new home. The GC hires a subcontractor to install certain components. After the home?s completion, those components turn out to be defective. Not only that, but their defects begin to affect other parts of the building. The homeowner sues, and the GC, facing large legal defense costs and potential judgments, submits claims to its insurers. The insurers deny coverage, saying that this was no accident, as the insurance policies use the term. Was this incident indeed an accident for which the GC should have insurance coverage, or was it merely a business risk that comes with hiring subcontractors? In the opinion of a federal appellate court, it was an accident.
The case, Stanley Martin Companies, Inc. v. Ohio Casualty Group, involved the construction of 24 duplex townhouses in a suburb of Washington, D.C. Stanley Martin, a home builder, hired Shoffner Industries to supply the wood trusses for the new homes. In its contract, Shoffner gave Martin a warranty guaranteeing that the trusses were free of mold, and it agreed to reimburse Martin for any liability or other costs that might arise out of defects in the trusses or any negligence. After Martin completed the homes, some of the homeowners began to complain of mold infestations. Investigations of the problem showed that the mold growth started with defective trusses and surrounding materials. The affected homeowners sued Martin, who ended up spending a long time in litigation and paying more than $1.7 million to clean up the mold.
Martin sought coverage under its general liability and umbrella insurance policies. The court?s decision does not say what the general liability insurance company did, but Ohio Casualty, who provided the umbrella policy, denied the claim. Ohio Casualty?s policy covered an ?occurrence,? which it defined as ?an accident, including continuous or repeated exposure to substantially the same general harmful conditions.? The company argued that the mold damage caused by the subcontractor?s defective work did not fall within this definition of ?occurrence,? and therefore the insurance did not apply. Martin sued Ohio Casualty for breach of contract, but the trial court sided with the insurance company. Martin appealed the decision, and the higher court ruled in its favor.
The court relied on a Maryland ruling which held that damage spreading from a subcontractor?s defective work to the general contractor?s non-defective work qualified as an ?occurrence.? Rejecting Ohio Casualty?s argument that the spread of mold was a further deterioration of already defective work, the court cited a legal definition of ?accident? as an ?event that takes place without one?s foresight or expectation. Martin, the court said, did not expect or intend for the subcontractor to supply moldy trusses, nor did it expect or intend for mold to spread throughout the buildings. The court held that the mold?s spread to non-defective building components was an ?occurrence,? and therefore Ohio Casualty was obligated to provide coverage for the replacement of those components. However, the court said that the need to replace the trusses was not unexpected nor unforeseen, and therefore the policy did not cover that.
This decision might not bind courts in all states, but it provides a useful guideline to them and to insurance companies and contractors. Because of this decision, insurance companies may demand that the general contractors they insure be very selective about the subcontractors they hire, with special attention to their reputations for quality of work. They may also insist that policies include deductibles for property damage claims, to encourage contractors to use loss control practices. Both the insurance companies and the contractors will need to make every effort to prevent these types of claims from occurring.

Low oxygen levels may decrease life-saving protein in spinal muscular atrophy

Nationwide Children's Hospital
Investigators at Nationwide Children's Hospital may have discovered a biological explanation for why low levels of oxygen advance spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) symptoms and why breathing treatments help SMA patients live longer. The findings appear in Human Molecular Genetics.*
SMA is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle damage and weakness leading to death. Respiratory support is one of the most common treatment options for severe SMA patients since respiratory deficiencies increase as the disease progresses. Clinicians have found that successful oxygen support can allow patients with severe SMA to live longer. However, the biological relationship between SMA symptoms and low oxygen levels isn't clear.
To better understand this relationship, investigators at Nationwide Children's Hospital examined gene expression within a mouse model of severe SMA. "We questioned whether low levels of oxygen linked to biological stress is a component of SMA disease progression and whether these low oxygen levels could influence how the SMN2 gene is spliced," says Dawn Chandler, PhD, principal investigator in the Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
SMA is caused by mutation or deletion of the SMN1 gene that leads to reduced levels of the survival motor neuron protein. Although a duplicate SMN gene exists in humans, SMN2, it only produces low levels of functional protein. This is caused by a splicing error in SMN2 in which exon 7 is predominantly skipped, lowering the amount of template used for protein construction.
Mouse models of severe SMA have shown changes in how genes are differentially spliced and expressed as the disease progresses, especially near end-stages. "One gene that undergoes extreme alteration is Hif3alpha," says Dr. Chandler. "This is a stress gene that responds to changes in available oxygen in the cellular environment, specifically to decreases in oxygen. This gave us a clue that low levels of oxygen might influence how the SMN2 gene is spliced."
Upon examining mouse models of severe SMA exposed to low oxygen levels, Dr. Chandler's team found that SMN2 exon 7 skipping increased within skeletal muscles. When the mice were treated with higher oxygen levels, exon 7 was included more often and the mice showed signs of improved motor function.
"These data correspond with the improvements seen in SMA patients who undergo oxygen treatment," says Dr. Chandler. "Our findings suggest that respiratory assistance is beneficial in part because it helps prevent periods of low oxygenation that would otherwise increase SMN2 exon 7 skipping and reduce SMN levels."
Dr. Chandler says daytime indicators that reveal when an SMA patient is experiencing low oxygen levels during sleep may serve as a measure to include SMA patients in earlier respiratory support and therefore improve quality of life or survival.
