Details
In October 2022, HMRC’s Accounting Officer undertook an assessment of the Pensions Programme.
The Pensions Programme will modernise the administration of Pensions Tax Relief by replacing the Pensions Scheme Service with the Managing Pension Schemes service. This will provide additional functionality making it quicker and easier to process pension returns and payments, including Relief at Source (RAS) claims.
The programme will also address aspects of the outcome of the McCloud judgment regarding government changes to public sector pensions, along with providing a technology solution to enable payment to those affected by the Low Earners Anomaly.
The Accounting Officer’s assessment concluded that the programme is value for money and deliverable.
