266B Scheme's liability

(1) This section applies where— (a) the scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme has become liable to the scheme sanction charge in respect of an unauthorised member payment, and (b) property or money is transferred, or a sum paid, towards a registered pension scheme pursuant to a relevant order as a result of the unauthorised member payment. (2) The scheme administrator may, within the period of one year beginning with the day on which the property or money is transferred, or the sum paid, claim relief from the relevant proportion of the scheme sanction charge. (3) The relevant proportion of the scheme sanction charge is— ASOUMP where— ASO is the amount subject to the relevant order, that is the aggregate of the market value of any property and the amount of any money transferred, or the amount of the sum paid, towards a registered pension scheme pursuant to the relevant order in respect of the unauthorised member payment, and UMP is the amount of the unauthorised member payment. (4) But if ASO is greater than UMP, the relevant proportion of the scheme sanction charge is the whole of it. (5) In this section “relevant order” means an order under any of the following— (a) section 16(1), 19(4) or 21(2)(a) of the Pensions Act 2004 (orders for money etc to be restored to pension schemes), or (b) Article 12(1), 15(4) or 17(2)(a) of the Pensions (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 (corresponding provision for Northern Ireland).

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
