McCloud consultation update – AISMA comment
September 8, 2023
Andrew Pow, board member of the Association of Independent Specialist Medical Accountants (AISMA), said:
“It’s good news that the Department of Health & Social Care has taken on board many of the comments from AISMA and other organisations contributing to the consultation. It appears that several of AISMA’s recommendations, including a flexible approach for NHS pension scheme members looking to reinstate part of their opted-out service, will be implemented.
“We also welcome the DHSC’s intention to establish a compensation scheme for pension scheme members suffering tax losses due to 2019 to 2020 tax year annual allowance charge adjustments as part of the wider compensation arrangements.”
Mr Pow continued: “It’s encouraging to see that the DHSC intends to continue engaging with AISMA and other professional bodies on the scenarios arising as the McCloud remedy is rolled out.”
