The timeline for implementing DWP proposals under the 2017 automatic enrolment (AE) review is "shockingly lethargic", Royal London director of policy Steve Webb has said.

DWP analysis reveals that 12 million workers are currently under-saving but reveals majority of employees and employers are contributing at a higher rate than AE minimum.

The government says it plans to clarify legislation around consideration of broader long-term financial risks, and schemes' ability to consider members' non-financial or ethical concerns.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has published a relief at source update for Scottish Income Tax following last week's Scottish Budget.

The government has set out plans to scrap the auto-enrolment (AE) lower earnings limit and extend the programme to 18-year-olds, but not until the mid-2020s.

Stotts Tours and its managing director Alan Stott will be ordered to pay over £30,000 for their failure to set up a pension scheme for their staff.

Changes to Scottish income tax bands could see savers receiving the wrong amount of pensions tax relief, commentators have warned.

Proposed standards for professional trustees due to come into force next year will be "too easy to game" and "a silly compliance exercise" if they are not accompanied by tangible metrics, Richard Butcher has warned.

Ahead of the results of the automatic enrolment (AE) review, PP looks at what could come up.
