Transfer a pension scheme member's savings.
HMRC has updated its process for confirming the registration status of pension schemes to help protect against pension liberation activity. When a pension administrator requests this information, HMRC will now provide a response without requiring consent from the receiving scheme. Administrators should note that these checks can take several months and should not be the only due diligence performed when transferring pension funds.
