WorkSave Buy Out Plan

Our WorkSave Buy Out Plan allows pension scheme trustees to discharge their liabilities for defined contribution member benefits without the need for consent from the members.

It enables trustees to provide members with a buy-out contract – either following the wind-up of their occupational pension scheme or for securing benefits for members with short service.

Options at retirement

Members may select one or a combination of the following options:

 

  1. Cash lump sum

    Members can take some or all of their pension pot as a lump sum. The first 25% will usually be tax free and the remaining 75% treated as taxable income.

  2. A flexible income

    Members can use income drawdown to take regular payments and or occasional cash lump sums. Drawdown payments are treated as taxable income.

  3. Annuity

    Members may choose an annuity from any provider.

  4. Transferring pension benefits

    Members can transfer their pension pot to another provider before and in some circumstances after retirement.
