PSI17.2.60 - Tax Treatment of Approved Schemes and Payments by Approved Schemes: Taxation of Payments to Scheme Members – Pension Sharing on Divorce - Tax on Certain Commutation payments– other aspects


(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 arrangements for allowing a full commutation under a buy-out contract as described in PSI17.2.17 and the other general requirements described in PSI17.2.19-26 apply in the same way for members whose benefits are subject to a pension sharing on divorce order as they do for members whose benefits have not been affected by such a sharing order.
