*Please note that the update states that two schemes have been removed, however the list shows that 7 schemes have been removed.
An updated list of ROPS notifications is published twice a month, usually, 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 based in the European Economic Area (EEA) changed from 6 April 2025. You’ll need to check that the scheme you’re transferring to meets the new requirements. The list to remove schemes that no longer meet the requirements will be published on 2 June 2025 for Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden.
HMRC has added that it cannot guarantee these are ROPS or that any transfers to them will be free of UK tax. It’s your responsibility to find out if you have to pay tax on any transfer of pension savings. Find out more about Overseas pension schemes.
