Your Tax Code and Your Pension
Under statute law the Fund has to account for tax deductable from relevant pension records. It achieves this
by the application of tax codes issued by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). HMRC have now reported
that they have had technical problems which have led to a large number of duplicate  tax code
notifications being issued to tax payers, some of whom will be members of the Fund.

For further information BBC news has issued a report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8478271.stm,
regarding the details. Should you feel that your tax code may be affected, please contact HMRC direct
 on 0845 302 1437, quoting your National Insurance Number and PAYE tax reference number: 068/W105.
Further information is available from the following source: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/incometax/coding-notice.htm
