INDIVIDUAL STAKEHOLDER PENSION PLAN APPLICATION FORM TO SET UP A NEW PLAN TO RECEIVE ADVISED TOP-UPS

WHEN TO USE THIS FORM This application form is to set up a new Individual Stakeholder Pension Plan into which you can make additional payments on the advice of your adviser. No adviser charges will be applied to this plan to pay for the advice given and any charges agreed with an adviser must be taken outside the plan. Your existing plan can continue to receive any ongoing retirement contributions you have already agreed to pay and any increases you wish to make on a non-advised basis. Existing Plan Number This form is to be used for single and/or regular payments from an individual, and/or an employer, or on behalf of a person who is under the age of 16, or under 18 years of age and not in employment. Such a person is referred to on this form as a minor. And/or transfers from other registered pension schemes. WHICH SECTION(S) SHOULD BE COMPLETED? If an individual is paying into the policy then complete sections: B, C, D, F, H and I If an employer is paying into the policy then complete sections: B, C, D, F, H, and I and arrange for section K to be completed by the employer If the policy is for a minor then complete sections: B, C, E, F, H and J Section G should be completed if transfers are included in any of the above. 1

Note for section Important Information 1) If the person for whom the plan is being arranged is under 16 years of age, or under 18 years of age and not in employment, the legal guardian (e.g. a parent) should complete the application. However, the details should be those for the person who will ultimately receive the pension, i.e. the minor. The contract will be in the name of the legal guardian for the benefit of the minor. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Warning: You must not make false statements when filling in this application; it is a serious offence. The penalties are severe and you could be prosecuted. Please read the illustration and key features document before completing this application. Please use BLOCK CAPITALS or tick relevant boxes. Is this application being made on behalf of a minor (see note 1) Yes No If you have applied to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for Enhanced or Fixed Protection from any potential lifetime allowance tax charge, such protection will be lost if any regular or single payment is made to a pension plan on or after 6th April 2006. For further information, please speak to your adviser before making any payments to a pension plan. In certain circumstances, restrictions may apply to the benefits your plan can provide. Ask us for details. Government rules allow certain individuals to protect entitlements to: tax-free cash which exceeded 25% of the value of that individual s pension fund as at 5th April 2006 and/or a lower or earlier pension age, where a right to take pension benefits at that age existed prior to 6th April 2006. This protection will be lost on transfer from one scheme to another unless the transfer is a block transfer. To be a block transfer, two or more members must transfer all sums and assets held within a scheme at the same time to a single receiving scheme. Please note that in any event you will lose tax free cash protection / protected pension age if you have already been a member of the receiving scheme for longer than 12 months before the transfer (please ensure that you check this with the receiving scheme prior to transfer). For further information please speak to your financial adviser. 2

Notes to section D 1) The Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA) is currently 4000. The MPAA applies to you if you have flexibly accessed your pensions from us or any other provider and have received any of the payments listed below from 6th April 2015 onwards: a payment from a flexible access drawdown fund (also known as a flexi-access drawdown fund); a payment from a capped drawdown fund which would exceed existing capped drawdown limits; a pension encashment (also known as an uncrystallised funds pension lump sum); a payment under a flexible annuity contract; a pension payment from a money purchase scheme which has fewer than 11 other pensioner members; a stand-alone lump sum from a money purchase arrangement where you were entitled to primary protection with a right to take a lump sum of greater than 375,000. The MPAA applies to all contributions you pay (or that are paid on your behalf e.g. employer contributions and death-inservice premiums) each year to all money purchase pension schemes of which you are a member. If the MPAA applies to you and your contributions exceed it, you will be liable to pay a tax charge based on your highest rate of income tax. The MPAA does not apply if you have taken only income from a capped drawdown plan; tax-free cash (pension commencement lump sums) when using your plan to purchase an annuity or drawdown plan; or small pots taken as a cash lump sum. In these circumstances, the higher annual allowance applies to you. 2) Your payments are paid net of basic rate tax at 20%. Scottish Widows will collect the basic rate tax relief from the Revenue and add it to the payments. If you pay more than 20% tax on some of your income, you may be able to claim additional tax relief either by contacting HMRC or via your self-assessment tax return. The minimum regular contribution you can pay is 20 net. Your regular payments are payable by direct debit. However, if your employer is paying any part of your regular contribution, they must complete the Direct Debit Instruction. This will enable Scottish Widows to collect your, and your employer s, contributions. If you are making any contributions, your employer will deduct the amount from your salary. The minimum applies to the total of your, and your employer s, contributions. 3) Employer s payments are paid gross. The minimum your employer can pay is 20 gross. 4) Where payments are being collected and being paid via your employer s bank account, the amount and payment date will be set by them. To comply with the late payment rules governed by The Pensions Regulator, payments which are made through your employer s bank account must reach Scottish Widows by the 19th of the month following the deduction from salary. For all other cases please choose a payment date up to the 28th of the month. D. YOUR PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS (FOR MINOR PLEASE COMPLETE SECTION E) There is no maximum limit on how much can be paid to your plan, although we can only accept contributions from you that are eligible for tax relief. However, your tax relief depends on your main place of residence as advised by HMRC for the current tax year. If you are a Scottish taxpayer the tax relief you will be entitled to will be at the Scottish Rate of income tax, which may be different from the rest of the UK. Relief is available on contributions which don t exceed your UK relevant earnings, or 3,600 if higher. The Treasury sets an annual allowance on the amount that can be paid into all your registered pension schemes without incurring a tax charge. Higher earners will have a lower annual allowance limit, called the Tapered Annual Allowance. Your annual allowance may also be limited to the Money Purchase Annual Allowance if you have flexibly accessed a pension with us or any other provider. (see note 1) Please speak to your financial adviser if you are unsure about how much you can pay. 1. Have you flexibly accessed any pensions with us or any other provider? (see note 1) Yes No If Yes - Date of first payment 2. Regular Contributions By you (see note 2) net By your employer (if applicable) gross (see note 3) (DD MM YYYY) Regular payments must be made by Direct Debit. Please complete the attached Direct Debit mandate. Please note, if payments are being made from both the policyholder and employer s bank accounts then a separate policy will be set up for the Employer payments. Please complete a Direct Debit mandate for each payer s bank account. Payment start date (DD MM YYYY) (1 28) If the start date of this plan is less than 21 days after the date we receive your application, we may collect both the first and second premium on the due date of the second premium Payment frequency (see note 4) Monthly Annually 3. Would you like the regular payments to increase automatically each year? Yes No If Yes what level of increase do you want? (see note 5) Retail Prices Index Average Weekly Earnings Fixed Rate from 5% to 20% 4. Single Contributions (see note 6) You net Your employer (if applicable) gross Single payments must be made by cheque, payable to Scottish Widows. 5. Transfer Payments Total amount of expected transfer payment Please complete section G for each transfer payment. % (please specify) Actual transfer payment(s) processed by Scottish Widows will depend on the final value(s) paid by the transferring scheme(s). Warning: Deciding whether or not to transfer can be complicated. Therefore, before you sign your application you should satisfy yourself that transferring your pension fund is right for you. It is important that you are sure about the suitability of transferring, and that you understand the risks by seeking advice from your financial adviser. 6

5) Fixed increases may be at any rate between 5% p.a. and 20% p.a., whole percentages only. 6) The single payment must be paid by cheque, payable to Scottish Widows. The minimum single payment you can make is 20 net or 20 if your employer is paying it. When writing a cheque, it will help to prevent fraud if you include additional information on the payee line, especially if you are not personally paying the cheque in, for example you may be sending the cheque by post. When writing a cheque to Scottish Widows you should include the applicants and policy number on the Payee line. For example Scottish Widows re: applicants name, your reference policy number XXXYYZ. Remember to draw a line through unused space on the cheque so extra numbers or names cannot be added. Notes to section E 1) The amount of tax relief the minor can receive is subject to an upper limit set by the Government. In each tax year, relief is only available on payments which do not exceed the higher of 100% of the minors relevant UK earnings, and 3,600 gross. If payments to this plan, and any other pension plans the minor has, when added to the basic rate tax relief received, exceed this limit, the excess will not be eligible for tax relief. 2) Payments are paid net of basic rate tax at 20%. Scottish Widows will collect the basic rate tax relief from the Revenue and add it to the payments. If the minor pays more than 20% tax on some of their income, they may be able to claim additional tax relief either by contacting HMRC or via their self-assessment tax return. The minimum regular contribution that can be made is 20 net. 3) Please choose a payment date up to the 28th of the month. 4) Fixed increases may be at any rate between 5% p.a and 20% p.a, whole percentages only. 5) The minimum single payment that can be made is 20 net. When writing a cheque, it will help to prevent fraud if you include additional information on the payee line, especially if you are not personally paying the cheque in, for example you may be sending the cheque by post. When writing a cheque to Scottish Widows you should include the minors name and policy number on the Payee line. For example Scottish Widows re: minors name, reference policy number XXXYYZ. Remember to draw a line through unused space on the cheque so extra numbers or names cannot be added. E. MINOR S CONTRIBUTIONS The total contributions into the plan can be up to 3,600 gross or 100% of the minor s relevant UK earnings in each tax year. A tax year runs from 6 April in one year to 5 April in the next year. (see note 1) Who is to make contributions?

J. LEGAL GUARDIAN DECLARATION IMPORTANT PLEASE COMPLETE SCOTTISH WIDOWS STAKEHOLDER PENSION SCHEME (the Scheme ) Scottish Widows has set up the above Scheme by Deed Poll. I apply on behalf of a minor, who is under the age of 16 or under 18 years of age and not in employment, to join the Scottish Widows Stakeholder Pension Scheme. On acceptance of the application, I understand I will receive a policy issued in the minor s name. I agree that the information detailed in this application is correct and complete and that it, together with the Deed Poll that established the Scheme, the rules of the Scheme, the policy provisions, the policy schedule and any endorsement relating thereto, constitute the contractual terms of the policy with Scottish Widows. I agree that the application will be treated as a separate application in respect of each of the Arrangements under the policy. I authorise Scottish Widows to collect the payments agreed to be made. I understand payments by or on behalf of the minor will be collected net of basic rate tax. I agree that if the basic rate of tax changes, Scottish Widows will amend the amount collected, but only to the extent necessary to maintain the total payment. Total payments by or on behalf of the minor in any tax year will not exceed the higher of 3,600, and the minor s relevant UK earnings. I will inform Scottish Widows within 30 days if the minor stops residing in the United Kingdom. I agree that the appointed financial adviser and Scottish Widows may exchange such information concerning the minor as is necessary to effect and administer the policy. I will be responsible for the contract as if it were my own until the minor reaches 18 years of age. I have received and read the Key Features of the Stakeholder Pension Plan. I have received the Important Notes for Applications document. For your own benefit and protection, please read each of the statements in that document before you sign this application. Scottish Widows will rely on them when administering your contract. If you do not understand any point please let us know.
