PSI20.4.10 - Funding and Surpluses: Insured Schemes - Earmarked Policies - Mandatory Approval


(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)

Schemes or arrangements set up with the intention of meeting all the requirements for mandatory approval under section 590 ICTA 1988 (see PSI2.3.7) must be funded by reference to current remuneration. If the Life Office or practitioner objects strongly to this, refer the case to your Divisional Manager. The examination of schemes or arrangements seeking mandatory approval is dealt with by Technical Support Section (SSAS).
