How to calculate the relevant relievable amount for an other money purchase arrangement

[s225(6) & (7)]

Where the individual's arrangement under their recognised overseas pension scheme is a money purchase arrangement other than a cash balance arrangement, the other money purchase relevant relievable amount is calculated in the following way.

Establish the total amount of contributions made by or in respect of the individual to the other money purchase arrangement between the dates determined under a. and b. below:

  1. the latest of the following dates:
  • the date that the individual became someone who is not a relevant overseas individual (see RPSM13100430)
  • the date that benefits first began to accrue to or in respect of the individual under the recognised overseas pension scheme other money purchase arrangement, and
  • 6 April 2006.
  1. the earliest of the following dates:
  • immediately before the transfer was made,
  • the date that the individual ceased to be someone who is not a relevant overseas individual, and
  • the date that benefits ceased to accrue to or in respect of the individual under the recognised overseas pension scheme other money purchase arrangement.

If the individual had not been a relevant overseas individual during another part of the overseas arrangement active membership period (see RPSM13100490) relating to the same other money purchase arrangement then the amount calculated in the same way in respect of that other part-period should be added to the above amount.

RPSM13100530 gives an example.
