11.9 Declarations
I confirm that the information I have provided above is correct. If further tax becomes payable because the information I have provided above is proven to be incorrect, then I understand that I will be wholly and personally liable for the tax charge due and any resultant penalty as may be imposed by HMRC.
11.9.1 I request and consent to the payment of benefits set out in this questionnaire and agree that:
i. I will be able to change the amount of income within the limits set by the Scheme Rules but if I choose to do so at anytime other than the relevant review date an extra charge may be incurred on the fund to meet the administration costs.
ii. The maximum Capped Drawdown income that can be paid in any year cannot exceed the maximum allowable in accordance with HMRC rules otherwise my Capped Drawdown fund will automatically convert to a Flexi-Access Drawdown fund and the Money Purchase Annual Allowance will apply.
iii. The Scheme Trustee has the right to liquidate investments to pay the benefits at its sole discretion in the absence of adequate instruction from myself or my appointed advisers.
iv. If appropriate, the Scheme Administrator has my authority to check with HMRC the details of any enhancement to benefits certificate in respect of my Lifetime Allowance.
v. I understand that if I take a pension commencement lump sum as a means to increase contributions to my SIPP, or any other registered pension scheme, by a significant amount this will be treated as "recycling" in certain circumstances by HMRC, and therefore the lump sum will be an unauthorised member payment and attract the tax charges associated with this kind of payment.
vi. I understand that if I withdraw my entire pension fund in one payment London & Colonial shall be released of all liability in respect of my SIPP.
vii. I understand that if HMRC have not supplied the Scheme Administrator with the correct tax code to deduct income tax from my payment, I will need to contact HMRC to reclaim the overpayment and this may not be possible until the end of the tax year.
11.9.2 If I flexibly access my pension fund by taking income under Flexi-Access Drawdown or by taking an Uncrystallised Funds Pension Lump Sum, I will notify the Scheme Administrator of any other schemes of which I am an active member within 91 days of receipt of the statement from London & Colonial.
11.9.3 I hereby agree that this application shall be the basis of the proposed contract to provide benefits under the scheme.
