SPP response to the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) 2025/6 Levy Consultation

This SPP response explains that the PPF continues to levy £100m annually from the pensions industry which it readily admits it does not expect to ever need given it has a multi-billion pound surplus. Existing legislation prevents any future increases beyond 25% but the levy could be immediately reduced to zero whilst legislative change is sought (either now or in the future).
