Part 3 – Member declaration

This agreement is between Legal & General (Portfolio Management Services) Limited, a company registered in England under Company Number 2457525, registered office at: One Coleman Street, London EC2R 5AA termed ‘Legal & General’ in this agreement, and me. This agreement sets out the terms of my membership of the WorkSave Pension Plan (the Scheme).

I hereby agree to open the self-invested arrangement.

If using Stocktrade: By submitting this application, I agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the Scheme and accept the Legal & General and Stocktrade fees and charges for investing in the self-invested arrangement. These are shown in the SIPP Fees and Charges Schedule.

I understand that Legal & General will pass my personal information to Stocktrade in order to set up and administer my SIPP trading account.

If using a Discretionary Fund Manager: By submitting this application, I agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the Scheme and accept the Legal & General fees and charges. These are shown in the SIPP Fees and Charges Schedule. The Discretionary Fund Manager will provide their fees and charges separately to me.

The scheme administrator agrees to administer the Scheme in accordance with the Scheme rules.

I confirm that:

• In this tax year I am a resident in the UK or am a Crown servant or the husband, wife or registered civil partner of a Crown servant.
• The total gross contributions which I pay to all Registered Pension Schemes in a tax year to which I am entitled to tax relief (under Section 188 of the Finance Act 2004) will not exceed my relevant UK earnings in that year or the higher of the basic amount (currently £3,600).

In this application form, a “US person” means someone whose country of residence is the United States. If you have any questions about whether this applies to you or could apply to you in the future, you should seek advice before signing this form.

If you are classed as a US person we are unable to accept your application. If you become a US person you need to inform Legal & General immediately and we may need to close your account to future accruals and/or make adjustments to your account to ensure we don’t breach the relevant rule(s).

The information I have given and declarations I have made in this application are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, correct and complete. I also agree this will form the basis of my application. 

I agree to tell you in writing if an event occurs which results in my no longer being eligible for tax relief on my contributions by 5 April in the tax year in which the event occurs, or if later, within 30 days of the event. 

If my employer or I are making contributions to my arrangements under the Scheme, some of the details in this application will be the basis on which tax relief is allowed. I understand that it is a serious offence to make false statements. The penalties are severe and HM Revenue & Customs could prosecute me. 

Until I notify Legal & General in writing to the contrary: I authorise Legal & General to provide my employer with details of my plan from time to time.
