RECEIVE A REFUND OF CONTRIBUTIONS

You will receive a refund of the money you paid into the Scheme from your former employer when you leave their employment, if you:  
  • have LESS THAN THREE MONTHS membership when you leave, AND
  • have not transferred any other pension rights into the LGPS, AND
  • not have any other LGPS membership in England & Wales
Only your contributions are refundable, those paid by your employer are NOT. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) claims 20% of all refund payments: this is also deducted from your refund payment.
