Details

The 바카라 사이트 established a cost control mechanism for public service pension schemes to ensure a fair balance of risks between scheme members and the taxpayer. The employer cost cap for the Local 바카라 사이트 Pension Scheme (Scotland) was set at 15.2% of pay, following the 2014 valuation. If at subsequent valuations the cost of the scheme is outside a corridor above/below the employer cost cap, the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 requires action to be taken to bring costs back to the target cost.

The cost cap cost of the scheme calculated in this cost cap valuation is 0.2% of pay above the employer cost cap. The result lies within the ±2% corridor, which means that no changes to benefits or member contributions are required.

The documents published on this page provide further details. Two valuation reports have been published to reflect that the cost cap valuation was paused following the McCloud judgment. The 바카라 사이트˜pre-McCloud valuation report바카라 사이트™ sets out an intermediate value required to calculate the cost cap cost of the scheme. The 바카라 사이트˜cost cap valuation report바카라 사이트™ sets out the final result of the valuation after the consideration of the remedy of the McCloud discrimination. Both have been prepared in accordance with HM Treasury Directions of 7 October 2021.
