16(1)This paragraph applies on the occurrence of a transfer of sums or assets held for the purposes of, or representing accrued rights under, a relieved non-UK pension scheme which (apart from sub-paragraph (2)) would by virtue of paragraph 13 be a benefit crystallisation event in relation to an individual who is a relieved member of the relieved non-UK pension scheme.U.K.
(2)The event is not a benefit crystallisation event if the transfer is a block transfer.
(3)A transfer is a block transfer if it involves the transfer in a single transaction of all the sums and assets held for the purposes of, or representing accrued rights under, the arrangements under the relieved non-UK pension scheme which relate to—
(a)the individual, and
(b)at least one other member of the relieved non-UK pension scheme (whether or not that member is a relieved member).
