Greater Manchester Police have been informed of potential personal tax implications for members of the 1987 Police Pension Scheme, who retire and take a pension between the ages of 50 and 54 inclusive and then take up employment as a Police Staff member.

Members of the police pension scheme whose age is between 50 and 54 who are re-employed as a Police Staff member have to meet certain conditions to keep their PPA and to protect against personal tax liability charges on any payments paid before the age of 55.

One of those conditions is that a break of at least 1 month is required where the re-employment is 'materially different'.

However, if the role is not deemed to be 'materially different' then a 6 month break is required.
