An updated list of ROPS notifications is published on the first and 15th day of each month. If this date falls on a weekend or UK public holiday the list will be published on the next working day. Sometimes the list is updated at short notice to temporarily remove schemes while reviews are carried out, for example, where fraudulent activity is suspected.
The requirements to be a ROPS changed from 6 April 2017 - find out about the changes for ROPS requirements.
Further changes came in the Budget 2024 removing the tax free transfer exemption on some overseas pensions.
