Manage and Register Pension Schemes service newsletter

04 June 2018

If you are registering as a pension scheme administrator or applying to register a pension scheme, you will now do this using the new Manage and Register Pension Schemes service.

HMRC has updated their main guidance on GOV.UK to reflect when you should use the new service and what you will need before you start.

HMRC has also created a new guide for practitioners to provide information about registering as a practitioner and to explain what practitioners need to do if they’re reporting on behalf of a pension scheme administrator.

Some small changes have been made to some of the other GOV.UK guides and to forms to reflect the changes following the launch of the Manage and Register Pension Schemes service. These guides are:

  • APSS150 (the form to authorise or de-authorise a practitioner)

  • APSS153 (the form to make changes to pension schemes details)

The Pensions Tax Manual will also be updated to reflect the introduction of the new service.

 

The newly published Manage and Register Pension Schemes service newsletter includes everything you need to know and encompasses:

  • Launch of the Manage and Register Pension Schemes service

  • Additional features from 11 June 2018

  • Existing scheme administrators

  • Using the service if you’re a non-trading company or a public sector organisation
