PSI21.2.19 - Centralised Schemes: Associated Employers - Centralised Individual Arrangements


(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)

First, each of the participating employers must pay remuneration to the employee and must make an adequate contribution to the arrangement (see PSI5.1.17). Confirmation of the first point may need to be obtained from the Schedule E District. If there is only one “paying point” according to Revenue records this is a strong indication that only one employer is paying remuneration. Where one company of a group pays salaries, even though employees work for more than one company, a centralised individual arrangement is not approvable.
