SPP

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has today released its updated defined contribution (DC) code of practice, as well as six guides on complying with legal obligations.

SPP president Hugh Nolan tells Helen Morrissey how the body can provide a truly independent voice to help the industry navigate through difficult times.

Hugh Nolan believes the ongoing BHS story demonstrates some positives for the industry.

A guide has been published to help trustees and other industry professionals understand how medical underwriting can be used to de-risk defined benefit (DB) schemes.

The Employer Covenant Working Group (ECWG) has announced its formal launch as it publishes a guide for advisers, trustees and sponsors of defined benefit (DB) schemes.

The Department for Work and Pensions should establish a permanent contact to whom the industry can send suggestions on how to reduce the regulatory burden, the Society of Pension Professionals says.

Professional Pensions asks industry figures - including Baroness Altmann and her predecessor Steve Webb - for predictions on the key challenges we are likely to face next year.

The Society of Pensions Professionals (SPP) has published two standardised reporting statements to help trustees and independent governance committees (IGCs) comply with recently-introduced governance requirements.

Flat-relief welcomed, EET to TEE rejected

Lawyers have warned that defined benefit (DB) schemes face unnecessary extra VAT charges unless HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) makes it less complicated for them to reclaim tax.
