c) Pension costs

Past and present employees are covered by the provisions of the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS) which is a defined benefit scheme and is unfunded and contributory.

The Commission recognises the expected cost of providing pensions on a systematic and rational basis over the period during which it benefits from employees’ services by payment to the PCSPS of amounts calculated on an accruing basis.

Upon the merger between the Commission and the National Lottery Commission, the Commission inherited a pension liability for the former Director General of the Office of the National Lottery (OFLOT). This pension is an unfunded defined benefit scheme which has benefits by analogy to the PCSPS and is paid directly from the Commission's own funds. In 2001, upon the recipient reaching retirement age, pension payments commenced. This was calculated using actuarially assessed assumptions at 31 March 2022.
