PSI8.1.46 - Lump Sum Benefits and Commutation: Maximum Lump Sum Benefits – Pension Sharing on Divorce – Simplified Defined Contribution Schemes


(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 only limitation that applies to an employee of a simplified defined contribution scheme whose benefits in the scheme are subject to a pension sharing on divorce order is that any contributions paid into the scheme after the date of the pension sharing order must not exceed the normal conditions applying to contributions that can be paid into a simplified defined contribution scheme. See PSI6.5.101 for more details.
