19 Calculation of pension input amounts: pensioner members of a relevant pension scheme and members of an MPs’ pension scheme

(1) Where a rectification exercise increases the value of a specified member’s rights under a relevant pension scheme, the additional pension input amount is to be included in the calculation of that member’s total pension input amount under section 229(1) of FA 2004 (total pension input amount) for the tax year in which the rectification period ends. (2) The “additional pension input amount” is— N V - O V × 16 where— “NV” is— where the specified member is a pensioner member of a relevant pension scheme, the annual rate of scheme pension that would, disregarding any commutation of pension, have been payable under the scheme when the member first became entitled to payment of it, if the rectification exercise had been retrospective, where the specified member is an active or deferred member of an MPs’ pension scheme, the annual rate of the pension which would, on the valuation assumptions, be payable to the individual under the scheme if the individual became entitled to payment of it at the end of the pension input period, or where the specified member is a hybrid member, the result of adding together the amounts in paragraphs (a) and (b) that would arise in relation to the member, and “OV” is what NV would have been, in relation to the member, if the rectification exercise had not taken place. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (1) a rectification exercise increases the value of a specified member’s rights under a relevant pension scheme if— (a) where the specified member is a pensioner member of a relevant pension scheme, the annual rate of scheme pension payable under the scheme increases as a result of a rectification exercise, (b) where the specified member is an active or deferred member of an MPs’ pension scheme, there would be an increase in the value of the individual’s rights in accordance with section 234 of FA 2004, if that section was applied to the scheme as a whole, rather than to each arrangement separately, or (c) where the specified member is a hybrid member, if either of sub-paragraphs (a) or (b) is met in relation to the member. (4) In this regulation— “hybrid member” means an active member of an MPs’ pension scheme who has previously been a pensioner member of the scheme, and references in this regulation to an active member of such a scheme do not include a hybrid member; “specified member” means— a pensioner member of a relevant pension scheme, or an active, deferred or hybrid member of an MPs’ pension scheme.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
