When will a tax charge be due?

The following transactions are some examples that will lead to tax charges being due.

  1. When the percentage limits for share investment in a sponsoring employer are exceeded.
  2. When a loan to the employer fails to meet one of the 5 tests.
  3. When there is a non arms length transaction (i.e. one that is not undertaken at a commercial rate).
  4. When there is a benefit in kind payment arising from the use of an asset by a member or a member of their family or household.
  5. Where the borrowing limits are exceeded.
  6. Where value is shifted out of the pension scheme.

Your scheme administrator should advise you before 7 July each year of any unauthorised payments which have been made to you following the use of an asset held by the scheme.

It is your responsibility to tell your tax office of any unauthorised payments made to you (see RPSM07200170).
