PSI8.2.42 - Lump Sum Benefits and Communication: Commutation Factors - Procedure - Unacceptable factors


(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)

If the factors cannot be accepted under PSI8.2.41, check whether the scheme gives post-retirement increases on one of the bases in PSI7.1.4. If post-retirement increases are not given tell the practitioner that the factors appear to be excessive and ask them to explain the interest and mortality assumptions used.
