Are you expected to submit a Declaration of Compliance on behalf of clients?

27 June 2017

 

Employers need to complete a Declaration of Compliance (DoC) within five months of their staging date (or duties start date) to tell The Pensions Regulator how they have met their automatic enrolment duties; whether they had anyone to put into a pension or not.

 

Employers who were late declaring their compliance have told The Pensions Regulator that they thought that this task was being done by someone else – either by their pension provider or their business adviser.

 

Help your clients to avoid a fine – make sure the DoC is completed and submitted on time.

 

The Pensions Regulator has a checklist on their website to help.
