This paragraph applies in the case of a person who, immediately before 6 April 2011, was entitled to dependants’ alternatively secured pension. Where the last alternatively secured pension year began on or after 7 April 2010, the reference in paragraph 23(1)(a) of Schedule 28 to FA 2004 (drawdown pension year) to the day on which the dependant first becomes entitled to drawdown pension is to be read as a reference to the day on which that alternatively secured pension year began. Accordingly, any alternatively secured pension year which began on or after 7 April 2010 is to be regarded, on and after 6 April 2011, as a drawdown pension year. For the purposes of pension death benefit rule 4 in section 167 of FA 2004, the amount which, immediately before 6 April 2011, was the basis amount for that alternatively secured pension year by virtue of paragraph 27 of Schedule 28 to FA 2004 continues, on and after that date, to be the basis amount for that year. In this paragraph “the last alternatively secured pension year” means the alternatively secured pension year in which 5 April 2011 fell.

In the case of a personal pension scheme within the meaning of section 1 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993, nothing in subsection (1) of section 28 of that Act (ways of giving effect to protected rights) is to be taken to prevent the trustees or managers of the scheme from giving effect to the protected rights of a member of the scheme in the way provided for by subsection (1A) of that section. In the case of a personal pension scheme within the meaning of section 1 of the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993, nothing in subsection (1) of section 24 of that Act (ways of giving effect to protected rights) is to be taken to prevent the trustees or managers of the scheme from giving effect to the protected rights of a member of the scheme in the way provided for by subsection (1A) of that section.

The data that a relevant data-holder may be required to provide— A notice under this paragraph is referred to as a data-holder notice.

Relevant data specified in a data-holder notice must be provided by such means and in such form as is reasonably specified in the notice. If the notice specifies that the data are to be provided by sending them somewhere, the data must be sent to such address and within such period as is reasonably specified in the notice. If the notice specifies that the data are to be provided by making documents available for inspection somewhere, the documents must be made available for inspection at such place and time as is— A place used solely as a dwelling may not be specified under sub-paragraph (3)(a). A data-holder notice requiring the provision of specified documents requires the documents to be provided only if they are in the data-holder’s possession or power. A power in this paragraph to specify something in a notice includes power to specify it in a document referred to in the notice.

If an officer of Revenue and Customs thinks it reasonable to do so, HMRC may retain documents provided pursuant to a data-holder notice for a reasonable period. While a document is being retained, the data-holder may, if the document is reasonably required for any purpose, request a copy of it. The retention of a document under this paragraph is not to be regarded as breaking any lien claimed on the document. If a document retained under this paragraph is lost or damaged, the Commissioners are liable to compensate the owner of the document for any expenses reasonably incurred in replacing or repairing the document.

This paragraph applies if an applicant authority of another member State makes a request in accordance with MARD for the recovery in the United Kingdom of a claim.

Such steps may be taken by or on behalf of the relevant UK authority to enforce the foreign claim as might be taken (whether or not by the relevant UK authority) to enforce a corresponding UK claim. “Steps” includes any legal or administrative steps, whether by way of legal proceedings, distress, diligence or otherwise. See paragraphs 7 and 8 for the meaning of “the relevant UK authority” and “corresponding UK claim”. The steps mentioned in sub-paragraph (3) include exercising any powers of set-off that the relevant UK authority would have been entitled to exercise if the foreign claim had been payable to it under an enactment. Any enactment or rule of law relating to a corresponding UK claim is to apply, with any necessary adaptations, in relation to the foreign claim. The enactments applied by sub-paragraph (7) include in particular those relating to the recovery of penalties and to the charging and recovery of interest on unpaid amounts.

In relation to any kind of foreign claim, the relevant UK authority may by regulations make provision as to the application, non-application or adaptation of any enactment or rule of law relating to corresponding UK claims. Paragraph 6(7) is subject to any provision so made.

Steps under paragraph 6(3) must not be taken or continued against a person if a final decision on the foreign claim has been given in the person’s favour by a court, tribunal or other competent body in the member State in question. For this purpose, a final decision is one against which no appeal lies or against which an appeal lies within a period that has expired without an appeal having been brought. If the person shows that such a decision has been given in respect of part of the foreign claim, steps under paragraph 6(3) must not be taken or continued in relation to that part.
