UK Inland Revenue pensions simplification tax regime
The Remuneration Committee has agreed ICI’s approach in response to the UK pensions simplification legislation, which became effective on 6 April 2006, for those Executive Directors who are members of UK pension plans. Such Executive Directors were given the option of either:

maintaining the existing pension arrangement, in which case the executive would take personal responsibility for any additional taxation arising, or
   
ceasing to accrue pension benefits in respect of future service and instead receiving a cash retirement benefit allowance, subject to income taxation. Past service benefits would remain linked to future salary increases.

This cash alternative is in line with ICI’s defined contribution benefits policy and the level of retirement benefit allowance payable will be in line with existing Company contribution rates to the ICI UK defined contribution plan. These arrangements will not increase the cost to the Group of pension provision.
