PP & IP

Question 1

For PP how are Pre 2012 BCE’s revalued?

Answer 1

BCE x (1.5m/SLA @BCE)

Question 2

For PP how are Post 2012 BCE’s Revalued

Answer 2

Not revalued - SLA was £1.8m underpinned

Question 3

For PP what happens to the crystallised LTA and TFC when revalued?

Answer 3

LTA - goes down (SLA always lower than £1.5m)

TFC - goes up

Question 4

Primary Protection TFC options (3)

Answer 4

25% of £1.5m
SSTFC > 25% of FV (Scheme!)
RTFC > £375k (Nottingham!!)

Question 5

With PP how does RTFC increase?

Answer 5

Growth in the SLA between A day and BCE - £1.8m underpin

Question 6

PP - How is TFC pre 2012 revalued if taken in stages?

Answer 6

Need to revalue the previous TFC: 
TFC x (£1.8m/SLA @ TFC withdrawal)

This brings the TFC up to current SLA level.
TFC amount therefore increased.

Question 7

IP14 - How are pre 06/04/14 benefits valued?

Answer 7

BCE value x (£1.5m/SLA at time of BCE)

This uprates the original BCE to £1.5m level to see if they qualify for IP14

Question 8

Max TFC under IP 14 or 16?

Answer 8

25% of personalised LTA unless SSTFC applies

Question 9

IP can be lost or reduced by a pension debit after 2014. What is the reduction?

Answer 9

5% for each complete tax year from 2013/14. Discount the debit back to 13/14 value.

E.g £400k debit after 4 years would reduce by £80k. If this takes the value below £1.5 (IP14) or £1.25 (IP16) the protection is lost

Question 10

IP16 - How are pre 06/04/16 benefits valued?

Answer 10

BCE value x (£1.25m/SLA at time of BCE)

This uprates the original BCE to £1.25m level to see if they qualify for IP16
