The Pensions Regulator has published updated guidance for those it regulates and has also suspended all its regulatory initiatives.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) must adopt a “pragmatic” approach to the 15% of UK schemes that have valuation dates within the next three weeks, Aon has said.

The government has postponed changes to IR35 tax rules until 2021 to relieve the pressure on businesses during the coronavirus crisis, just a week after the Budget confirmed they would go ahead.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has told ITV and four connected firms that they must deliver a future funding plan for the Box Clever Group Pension Scheme within six months.

The chancellor missed an opportunity to be bold on reforming the pensions tax relief system, say Hadassah Shulman and Angela Sharma.

The government has left pension schemes with insufficient time to prepare members for changes to tapered annual allowance thresholds, due to come into effect from 6 April.

Pensions and financial inclusion minister Guy Opperman has warned schemes who do not have their data organised to the standard required for the pensions dashboard will face “draconian penalties.”

Small defined contribution (DC) schemes will be “nudged” into consolidation under new government plans to ramp up governance.

Guy Opperman says he will not slow down on aiming to implement “ambitious” programmes to tackle climate change while the government will also continue to intervene where it feels the industry is not doing enough.
