| Abstract | It has now emerged that some schemes, including those of FTSE100 companies, have worked out that giving pensioners one-off tax-free lump sums to forfeit these increases is far less expensive than making cash injections into the scheme. Mike Serjeant of PPM said: "We offer to buy out the pre-1997 pension increases, which can be anything up to 5 per cent a year. In one case we offered to pay pensioners their annual pension as a one- off tax-free cash payment. So a pounds 10,000 pension would generate a pounds 10,000 tax-free cheque.'' The Pension Protection Fund, set up to compensate victims of collapsed pension schemes, does not cover pre-1997 pension increases, he said. |
