PSI5.1.7 - Contributions by Employers: General - Scheme Rules


(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)

Scheme rules which govern employer contributions may be expressed in many different ways but they should make it clear that:
  1. each employer participating in the scheme should contribute ( PSI5.1.8-10),
  2. contributions should only be made in respect of the employer's own employees ( PSI5.1.8-10), and
  3. contributions should be reasonable in amount to provide benefits for service as an employee ( PSI5.1.14).
