The Pension Protection Fund (Tax) Regulations 2006
In the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35), Part 2 establishes and deals with the Board of the Pension Protection Fund (“the Board”). The Board is a body corporate, and has two main functions. First, the Board is to administer the Pension Protection Fund, from which compensation will be paid to members of certain pension schemes which are underfunded and no longer have a solvent sponsoring employer; and (secondly) the Board is to administer the Fraud Compensation Fund, from which compensation will be paid to certain pension schemes which no longer have a solvent sponsoring employer in cases of fraud and misappropriation of scheme assets.
