The legislative framework The Pension Schemes Act 2017 The Pension Schemes Act 2017 (PSA 2017) is designed to strengthen safeguards for members of master trusts by tightening oversight of master trusts and addressing risk areas inherent in the master trust model when set beside other occupational pension schemes (such as profit-driven objectives, large cohorts of disengaged savers, and the potential jeopardy to pension pots if a master trust collapses). In summary, from 1 October 2018: master trusts must secure authorisation from the Pensions Regulator to operate as a master trust (with existing master trusts given until 31 March 2019 to submit an authorisation application, subject to any extension of the deadline granted by the Pensions Regulator). Five conditions must be met before the Pensions Regulator will grant authorisation—see: Authorisation criteria, below the Pensions Regulator has responsibility for the ongoing supervision of master trusts—see: Ongoing supervision and The Pensions Regulator’s proposed approach to supervision and enforcement, below master trusts must identify and manage ‘triggering...

For overarching guidance on the special income tax and capital gains tax (CGT) treatment of trusts for disabled persons, refer to Practice Note: Taxation of trusts for disabled persons—income tax and CGT. That Practice Note sets out how to make an election for the special income tax and CGT treatment. Reform Following HMRC’s consultations, notable updates have been made to the definition of a disabled person: The qualifying conditions have been broadened to include people in receipt of Personal Independence Payments for care or mobility at either rate, and to include those who receive the higher rate of the Disability Living Allowance mobility component. The previous anomaly that allowed a CGT-free uplift on the death of the disabled person for interest in possession trusts, but did not extend the same uplift to discretionary trusts, has now been corrected. Both categories of trust for disabled persons now benefit from the uplift...

Accruer clauses See Williams on Wills [90,1]–[90.6]. Paragraph [90.6] explains that, even if the original portions are unequal, any share arising by way of accrual is to be taken in equal parts, rather than by reference to the ratios of the initial allocations, unless the will or settlement provides otherwise. This view is supported by Re Bower's Settlement Trusts, Bower v Ridley-Thompson.
