Commentary on Sections Part 6 – Private Pensions Section 47: Maximum period between scheme returns to be 5 years for micro schemes
All occupational pension schemes are required to complete a scheme return at least once every three years. This is sent to the Pensions Regulator and provides up to date information about the scheme.
This section increases the maximum period between scheme returns to five years for schemes that have no more than four members (the number of members is determined either by the information sent to register the scheme or the last scheme return).
