PSI20.6.13 - Funding and Surpluses: Surpluses - General - Limited Price Indexation


(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)

Occupational pension schemes other than public service pension schemes and money purchase schemes will be required to provide pension increases in line with the rise in prices up to a ceiling of 5% per annum in respect of
  1. future pensionable service, and
  2. past pensionable service,

out of any surpluses which may occur following actuarial valuation. As from 17 August 1990 such schemes are precluded (with certain exceptions) from making payments to the employer until provision has been made in the scheme rules for every current and future pension to be increased at the above level.
