Section 615 scheme
Referring to section 615(6) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988, an
occupational pension scheme
that:
Is established under trust by an employer that operates wholly or partly outside the UK.
Provides retirement benefits for employees that work wholly outside the UK.
A section 615 scheme is exempt from many, but not all, of the regulatory provisions that apply to pension schemes in the UK. For tax purposes, it counts as neither a
registered pension scheme
nor an
employer-financed retirement benefits scheme
.
