3 Introduction A Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) is a type of retirement plan (pension fund). It is a pooled occupational arrangement with fewer than 12 members - typically the directors and officers of the principal employer. A SSAS is often considered the most flexible of all pension schemes. It can offer greater convenience than establishing separate Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) for each member, because in a SSAS one arrangement ( the scheme ) allows all of the members to share in the benefits under a single charging structure, rather than setting up multiple individual plans. The scheme is set up under an Employer Trust produced by Gibbs Denley. The members themselves act as the Trustees enabling them to make their own investment decisions, with Gibbs Denley s advice. A private pension fund such as a SSAS is an ideal way of saving for retirement due to the generous tax incentives available and the ability for members to retain control of their own funds. A SSAS is also a particularly efficient way of purchasing commercial property (such as the trading premises) and offers the ability to loan funds back to the company, if needed from time to time, subject to certain levels of security. The contributions build up a fund which, in the future, will be used to provide members retirement benefits with a great deal of flexibility. The pension fund is invested according to the Trustees instructions. For example, as well as premises and loanbacks, it can invest in collective funds that invest in cash, property, stocks and shares, gilts and other fixed interest investments (e.g. corporate bonds). Please refer to the list of Permitted Investments on page 7. Gibbs Denley can provide advice on the most appropriate investments after considering members risk tolerance, capacity for loss and the prevailing economic conditions. 3
4 Paying into the scheme Contributions are usually paid into the SSAS by the principal employer on behalf of the scheme members. The company s contributions are usually allowable as a business expense (deductible against the firm s Corporation Tax liability) and the funds then remain invested in a highly tax-efficient environment, largely exempt from Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax. Members are also able to pay in their own additional voluntary contributions, if desired. Investment flexibility A SSAS provides the widest choice and control of scheme investments and retirement options. Businesses can also benefit from a loanback facility. The particular attractions offered by a SSAS include the ability to: Buy commercial property from either the principal employer (or any other party) and lease it back to the employer, or a third party, at a commercial rent; Borrow up to 50% of the net assets of the scheme to either purchase property, fund an investment, or to help finance other trustee commitments such as the payment of pension or death benefits; Loan up to 50% of the net assets of the scheme to the principal employer. Loans can be used to buy, for example, fixed assets, land for development or to increase stock. The loan must be repaid by regular capital and interest instalments; usually on either a monthly or quarterly basis. Loans are restricted to a maximum of 50% of the net SSAS fund. Such loans must be secured against assets by way of a first charge and the security must be sufficient to cover the loan and interest on it. Gibbs Denley can assist with co-ordinating any legal charges to be registered as necessary with Companies House and the Land Registry. The maximum permitted term of the loan is five years, with the interest being at least 1% above the average base-lending rate of the six leading high street banks. Wide range of retirement options At retirement, there are a variety of flexible options available for receiving benefits from the SSAS. Members will be able to receive a pension commencement lump sum (currently tax-free) of up to 25% of their retirement fund. The remainder is then used to provide the member with a taxable pension income, which may be in the form of a guaranteed income for life (an annuity) or by taking unrestricted withdrawals from the pension fund itself (a Flexi-Access Drawdown arrangement). Members do not have to actually retire from employment in order to receive their benefits. It must be borne in mind that a SSAS is a long term investment and contributions cannot normally be refunded. The earliest permitted retirement age is currently 55 although future changes to legislation are planned such that it will fall 10 years prior to State Pension Age, whereupon the above-mentioned retirement options are available. Taking the pension early will most likely result in a lower level of benefits. Tax efficient death benefits In the event of a member s death before age 75, their portion of the fund can be passed to their spouse/ dependant, or indeed any other person of the member s choosing, usually free from all taxes. If death occurs after age 75, the nominated beneficiary(ies) can choose to receive any residual portion of the member s pension fund as an income, or surrender the plan for cash, taxable at their own marginal rate. 4
5 Other points to consider Within a SSAS it is important to bear in mind that there is normally no earmarking of funds between members the assets are pooled. Members take a proportionate share of the overall scheme value dependant on their percentage allocation. In certain circumstances it may be appropriate / advisable to allocate specific assets to a member. Furthermore the pooled nature of the assets within a SSAS lends itself less well to matching the investment objectives of each individual scheme member. For example, younger members may wish to choose a more adventurous investment strategy, on the basis that they have a longer timeframe until their retirement date. The role of the Scheme Administrator Each SSAS requires a Scheme Administrator and the Managing Trustee will normally perform this role. The Managing Trustee(s) will be one or more individuals from the company s directors / officers who are nominated to perform this role; ultimately they are responsible for the effective running of the SSAS. The managing Trustee(s) should take independent professional advice before proceeding with or disposing of any investment and ensure that decisions are agreed in writing by all of the Managing Trustees. Decisions and agreements should always be fully minuted. Gibbs Denley will provide advice and act as Scheme Practitioner. Every pension scheme registered in the UK must have a Scheme Administrator who is accountable to HM Revenue & Customs for complying with their rules and regulations and the various reporting requirements. This means we can deal with such matters as: Registering the pension scheme with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC); Reporting of events relating to the scheme and the scheme administrator to HMRC; Making returns of information to HMRC; Providing information to scheme members and others regarding the Lifetime Allowance, benefits and transfers. Please Note: HMRC can impose fines for failing to adhere to its requirements. Duties and Responsibilities If you are a member of a Gibbs Denley SSAS, you will also be a trustee of the scheme. This gives you rights which you would not otherwise have, but it also carries with it a responsibility to ensure that the scheme is run properly. In practice, you will work with experts such as Gibbs Denley, its trustee company, and any other advisers such as investment managers, to run the scheme properly. In addition, the trust deed for your scheme contains clauses giving protection to the trustees for their actions, so you should not be unduly alarmed about being a trustee. You need to bear in mind, though, that you share ultimate responsibility as one of the trustees and you need to be familiar with your role as a trustee and involve yourself in the running of your scheme, so that you know what is going on. The following notes will help you with this. Trusts and Trustees When an individual becomes a member of your SSAS, they also become a trustee. In some cases our trustee company, Anglia Pension Fund Trustees Limited, is appointed as well. In addition to having a number of rights and powers, both the individual member trustees and where applicable our trustee company have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the interests of the scheme and to act impartially, prudently, responsibly and honestly, in the best interests of all scheme members. 5
6 Trustees Rights Being a trustee gives you valuable powers in the running of your pension scheme, which are important in a self-invested pension scheme. Under general trust law, these are powers of maintenance, advancement and delegation. The trust deed sets out the specific powers. The trustees exercise their powers unanimously, so you will need to work with your co-trustees and reach agreement with them, but you will have much more influence than if you were not a trustee. Trustees Responsibilities The role of the trustees in relation to the scheme can be broken down into a number of general and specific responsibilities (the following are not exclusive): General 1. In fulfilling their role, trustees must be aware of their legal duties and responsibilities. Trustees are required to have knowledge and understanding of, amongst other things, the law relating to pensions and trusts, as well as the investment of scheme assets. 2. Trustees should have some knowledge and understanding of the legal framework in which the scheme exists and operates. For example, trustees should be aware of key legislation, such as the Pensions Acts of 15 and 2004 and the Finance Act Trustees should also be aware of the role played by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and should be able to access their guidelines on what is a permissible investment for a scheme. 3. As well as being aware of the current position, trustees should attempt to keep up-to-date with changes that would affect the operation of their scheme. 4. Trustees should be able to identify where it is necessary to obtain specific professional advice in relation to their scheme and any particular investment (for example from a solicitor, financial adviser or an actuary). Specifics 1. The law requires trustees to be familiar with the key scheme documentation relating to their scheme. This means that trustees will need to ensure they have a working knowledge and understanding of the trust deed and rules of their scheme and the powers, duties and discretions exercisable by the trustees. 2. Importantly there may be areas where you have greater knowledge and expertise than your cotrustees and professional advisers. These may include particular investments you want to make with your scheme. Another area may be where you have information in your possession which others would not have, such as details about beneficiaries. It is important in these areas that you assume responsibility for your actions and make Gibbs Denley and its trustee company aware of any issues which are relevant to the proper operation of the scheme. These notes are a brief summary of trustees rights and responsibilities, but are not exhaustive. If you require more detailed guidance, you are recommended to seek personal legal advice. 6

For example, the SSAS purchases 50% of the shareholding in a company which invests in residential property) Please note that the value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the full amount invested. Warning: if a particular investment is unregulated and not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) then Gibbs Denley are not able to advise on its suitability, nor endorse it. Any advice is based on our understanding of current HM Revenue and Customs legislation and limits. Please note these may change in the future. 7
