(This archived guidance relates to HMRC discretionary practice before the 6th April 2006. For current guidance on Registered Pension Schemes see the Registered Pension Schemes Manual)

An employee who becomes a partner or proprietor must be treated as having left service. The normal options under the scheme's leaving service rule are available and such an individual can be given a refund of his or her own contributions or deferred benefits as appropriate.
