Currently 12% I believe because its using the surplus to cover the shortfall (shortfall being the difference between what NATS has to pay to keep the scheme assets the same or greater than its liabilities and how much it is paying). How long will the surplus continue to cover that shortfall? How long is a piece of string? One sure thing is that it cannot be forever, not unless the scheme trustees find some fantastic investments which no one else in the financial markets has found.
