Hi All,
A recent case in the High Court has ruled that Police Authorities had a duty to inform those leaving the Force and being re-employed had a duty to notify those members of their tax liabilities upon re-employment.
The case concerned the tax liabilities on pensions, where the appellant police officers had retired before the normal minimum pension age of 55. The appellants appealed against a decision of the Pensions Ombudsman dismissing their complaints that they had not been made aware that retiring when they had done would make them liable to additional tax. The Chancery Division held that the appeal of two appellants against the Avon and Somerset police authority would be allowed. The case of three appellants against the Essex police authority would be remitted to the Pensions Ombudsman. However, the relevant chief constables were not liable to the appellants for the adverse tax consequences of what had occurred.
This will be particularly helpful for those members who are still in dispute with their Forces in relation to this issue.
The full case is attached and a resume can be found on our website at:
