PSI7.1.13 - Increases of Pensions in Payment: General - The Retail Prices Index


(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)

The use of a suitable index applies no matter what type of policy is used. Any suggestion that a restriction based on such an index is not appropriate where the annuity is investment linked should be rejected. Let the Divisional Manager see any case where a Life Office continues to press for the removal of this restriction.
