Pensions - Articles - Levy Reduction Measures from the Pension Protection Fund

 There are a number of changes to levy reduction measures for 2015/16, including: a new certification requirement for Type A contingent assets; the option for employers to apply to exclude certain mortgages/charges from the risk assessment; and the recognition of Asset Backed Contributions with any underlying asset. These measures require careful consideration at an early stage so that the appropriate advice can be obtained and documentation can be submitted by the PPF’s deadlines. Any trustees certifying their pension plan as a ‘last man standing’ scheme on the scheme return should ensure that they have received legal advice confirming this status.
