60 Remedial arrangements to pay voluntary contributions to judicial schemes

(1) Scheme regulations for a judicial scheme may make provision so as to secure that a relevant member may enter into remedial voluntary contributions arrangements. (2) In subsection (1)— “relevant member”, in relation to a judicial scheme, means a member (other than a deceased member) who has remediable service in a judicial office which, after the end of the election period, is pensionable service under the scheme; “remedial voluntary contributions arrangements” means arrangements— which are entered into by a member after the end of the election period, and under which the member pays voluntary contributions to the scheme. (3) Provision by virtue of subsection (1) may permit a member (“M”) to enter into arrangements only if the scheme manager is satisfied that it is more likely than not that, but for a relevant breach of a non-discrimination rule, M would, during the period of M’s remediable service in the judicial office, have entered into the same or similar arrangements. (4) The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (1) includes, in particular, provision under which liabilities to pay voluntary contributions that would otherwise arise under the arrangements are reduced by tax relief amounts. (5) In subsection (4) “tax relief amounts” means amounts determined by reference to the tax relief under section 188 of FA 2004 (relief for members’ contributions) that would have been available in respect of the amounts owed if they were paid in a different tax year. (6) Provision by virtue of subsection (1) may not permit a member (“M”) to enter into arrangements after— (a) the end of the period of one year beginning with the day on which a statement under section 64 (information statements) is sent in respect of M, or (b) such later time as the scheme manager considers reasonable in all the circumstances. (7) Subsection (6) does not affect the continued operation after the time mentioned in that subsection of any arrangements entered into before that time. (8) In this section “non-discrimination rule” means a rule that is, or at any time was, included in a judicial scheme by virtue of— (a) section 61 of EA 2010, or (b) paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to EEAR(NI) 2006. (9) For the purposes of this section a breach of a non-discrimination rule is “relevant” if it arises from the application of— (a) an exception to section 18(1) of PSPA 2013 made under section 18(5) to (7) of that Act, or (b) an exception to section 18(1) of PSPA(NI) 2014 made under section 18(5) to (8) of that Act.

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.
