London Pensions Fund Authority
The London Pensions Fund Authority (LPFA) raises a levy each year to meet expenditure on premature retirement compensation and outstanding personnel matters for which LPFA is responsible and cannot charge to the pension fund. These payments relate to former employees of the Greater London Council (GLC), the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) and the London Residuary Body (LRB).
For 2026 to 2027, the income to be raised by levies is set out below. The Greater London levy is payable in all boroughs, the Inner London levy only in Inner London Boroughs (including the City of London). The figures show the total to be raised.
- Inner London £7,000,000
- Greater London £1,000,000
- Total £8,000,000
Kensington and Chelsea’s share of the above levy (using relative Council Tax Bases) for 2026/27 is £607,059.
From 2022 onwards, a portion of the amount previously raised as levies is being paid directly into the LPFA Pension Fund to address a funding deficit in respect of former GLC, ILEA, and LRB employees. So, in addition to the figure quoted above, we will pay a further £774,642 to the LPFA to discharge its 2026/27 liability.
