Finance Act 2004

Benefit crystallisation event 5: meaning of “DP” and “DSLS”U.K.

14(1)For the purposes of benefit crystallisation event 5 “DP” is the annual rate of the scheme pension to which the individual would be entitled if, on the date on which the individual reaches 75, the individual acquired an actual (rather than a prospective) right to receive it.U.K.

[F1(1A)If the rate at which the scheme pension would be payable would be reduced so as to reflect the amount of any tax under section 215 to be paid by the scheme administrator, that reduction is to be left out of account in determining the rate at which the pension would be payable for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1).

(1B)And if the reduction is such that, in accordance with normal actuarial practice, it would be taken fully to reflect the amount of the tax, the tax is not to be treated as tax paid by the scheme administrator for the purposes of section 215(9).]

(2)For the purposes of benefit crystallisation event 5 “DSLS” is [F2so much] of any lump sum to which the individual would be entitled (otherwise than by way of commutation of pension) [F3as would be paid to the individual] if, on that date, the individual acquired an actual (rather than a prospective) right to receive it.
