The European Parliamentary (United Kingdom Representatives) Pensions (Amendment) Order 2006
This Order amends the European Parliamentary (United Kingdom Representatives) Pensions (Consolidation and Amendment) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/1662) (“the Principal Order”) and the European Parliamentary (United Kingdom Representatives) Pensions (Additional Voluntary Contributions) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/739) (“the AVC Order”), both of which were made under the European Parliament (Pay and Pensions) Act 1979 (c. 50) and set out pension schemes applying to United Kingdom Representatives to the European Parliament. Many of the amendments reflect changes that are consequential on the replacement on 6th April 2006 of the tax regime applying in respect of pensions under Part 14 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (c. 1) by Part 4 of the Finance Act 2004 (c. 12) (“Part 4”).
