Retirement and other pension benefils are paid by publlc funds providod by Pdrliamgnl. The employer conliibutlon rate is sel by Ihe Secretary of State followng scheme valuatlons undertaken by the Gtsvomment Acluatys Départment. The tnOs1 recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as al 31 March 2016 and the Valuation R8POrt. which was published in Mar¢h 2019, confirmed Ihal the employer contribution rate lor the TPS would Increase from 16.40h to 23.6tsA from 1 September 2019. Employers are al80 requlred lo pay a scheme adminislralion levy ol 0.08D/o giving a lolal emplo>[ oontrlbutlon rale of 23.68°1¢. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Repc>rt was prepared in a¢oord8nce Mfjlh the bonefils set out in the sch¢me regulations and under the approach specified in Ihe Direullons, as they èpplied at 5 March 2019. However, th8 assumptions weTe considered and set by tho Department lor Education prior to the ruling in the'McCloudlSargeant case.. Thls case has required tho courts lo consider cases regarding IhB implementation of the 2015 reforms lo Public Servi¢a Ponslons including the T&achers' Penslons. On 27 June 2Q19 the Supreme Court d8nSèd the government p8tmSsslon to appeal the Court of Appeal's ludgrnenl that Iranslfjonal provisions Intrc>duced to the rèformed pension schemes in 2015 g8vé rise to unlawful age discriminatlon. The govemment is respeGling the Court's d8SiOn and has said il wlll angage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member represenlal(ves to agree how the discriminations will b6 remediod. A Consultation wa5 launched by thé government on 16 July 2020. and closéd to responses on 11 October 2020. ThB TPS is subject to a cost cap mochanism which was pul In place lo protect tsxpayers against unforeseen changès in scheme costs. Thè Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having In 2018 announcad Ihat there would be a review ol this cost oap mechanism, In January 2019 announced a pause lo the cost cap meohanlsm following the Court ofAppeo1'g ruling in the Mccloudlsargeant case and untll there is cèrtainty aboul the valu8 of pensions lo employees from April 2015 onwards. The paugè was lifted in July 2020 and the govornmenl is prgparlng to comp18tg th8 c051 conlrol element ol the 2016 valuations. which is expected lo be compl&l¢d In 2021. In view ol thè above rullngs and decisions tha assumptions used in th6 31 March 2C116 Actuarial Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation pr&pared in ac¢ordance with revised benefits and suitably revised assL¢mptions would weld dillgrenl results than those contained in thè Acluarial Valu81ion. Until the consu51allon and the cost cap mechanism review are completed it Is not posslbl& to concludè on any financlal lrnpacl or future ¢hang&s lo tha contribution iales of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past ben6flt pension Cosls Is includgd in these financial slalembnts.
