Calculate your public service pension adjustment service
On 11 April 2024, the Calculate your public service pension adjustment service was closed temporarily due to a technical issue.
As we fix this issue, we바카라 사이트檝e considered feedback from schemes and members about the calculation and submission journey.
We바카라 사이트檒l introduce the following improvements to the service.
1.聽Removal of original pension input amounts for the remedy period
For the tax years 2015 to 2016 through to 2021 to 2022, members will not need to enter the amount of their original pension input amount. This will reduce the amount of information a member needs to give as part of their calculation and submission.
2. Income sub-journeys
Members will be presented with additional questions throughout the submission for the service to complete the relevant calculation, if they do not know the amount of their:
- net income
- threshold income
Using the information entered as part of this new element of the journey, the service will determine if the member바카라 사이트檚 threshold income is above the threshold income limit for the relevant tax year. If so, the service will ask further questions to establish if the member is above the adjusted income limit for the relevant tax year.
If the member is above the adjusted income limit for the relevant tax year, the service will keep and use the adjusted income amounts to calculate the member바카라 사이트檚 tapered annual allowance.
3. Save and return
When the service re-opens, members will have the option to sign in using their 바카라 사이트 Gateway user ID and save their progress to return to it later. They바카라 사이트檒l have 9 months from when they last saved their progress, to make a submission.
After this the information will be deleted, and they바카라 사이트檒l have to start again from the beginning.
Members who do not have a 바카라 사이트 Gateway user ID will still be able to use the calculator but will not be able to save and return. Members can create a 바카라 사이트 Gateway user ID.
4. Triage
We know many members who receive remedial service statements will not need to report any changes to tax charges to HMRC through the service.
We바카라 사이트檒l be introducing a new triage process, to help members decide if they need to use the full calculator and submission service or not.聽
The member will be asked a series of questions about their specific circumstances. They바카라 사이트檒l be presented with a message telling them if, based on the information entered, they should make a submission to HMRC.
5. Updated calculation results page
We know users have found the calculation results page confusing, so we바카라 사이트檙e working on updates to make the information displayed more meaningful and easier to understand the outcome of the calculation.
Release dates
We plan to re-open the service in mid-July 2024 and include as much as possible of items 1 to 3 mentioned in this release.聽Then update the service in September 2024 to include items 4 and 5.
We바카라 사이트檒l also be publishing some detailed guidance to support members using the service to give more details on what information we need at each point of the submission.
Further potential changes
Following feedback from schemes, we바카라 사이트檙e currently getting advice on whether it바카라 사이트檚 possible to add a new step to the member journey. This would allow communication between HMRC and the scheme when a member바카라 사이트檚 annual allowance charge for the tax years 2019 to 2020 through to 2021 to 2022 is reduced due to the remedy, and the scheme originally paid the charge. With member바카라 사이트檚 consent, the service would ask to give consent for HMRC to give this information directly to the scheme. The member would then not need to take any further action on the credit amount due.
We바카라 사이트檒l continue to review the service content and make necessary updates based on user feedback.
Updates on all changes will be provided in future newsletters.
Interim process for members
While the Calculate your public service pension adjustment service is unavailable, if you have members who need to make a submission to HMRC, ask them to email聽publicservicepensionsremedy@hmrc.gov.uk聽with 바카라 사이트楶SPR submission request바카라 사이트� in the subject line.
They can also contact HMRC by telephone and select option 1.
