PSI6.4.17 - Total Benefits on Retirement at Normal Retirement Age: Pensionable Remuneration and Final Remuneration - Controlling Directors - 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 must include this restriction on the calculation of final remuneration from the outset if a controlling director is a member. In other cases the administrator must tell us if a controlling director becomes a member. If this happens, make it a condition of continued approval that the rules are amended to include the usual restrictions (see PSI3.3.5).
