Commentary on Sections Miscellaneous Section 27: Technical amendment to Schedule 4 to the Pensions Act 2007
153.Section 27 amends a consequential amendment made to Schedule 4 to the PSA 1993 and contained within paragraph 60 of Schedule 4 to the PA 2007.
154.Where an employer becomes bankrupt, the amount of debt (in respect of the contributions owed to a salary-related contracted out pension scheme) is calculated according to the rebate percentages specified in Schedule 4 to the PSA 1993. The consequential amendment as currently drafted would substitute out of date rebate percentages into Schedule 4 to the PSA 1993. This amendment will ensure the most recent rebate percentages are retained in that Schedule.
