As part of this, they continue to work to identify promoters and schemes which seek to abuse the pension tax rules. The fit and proper person test for scheme administrators introduced in September 2014 is another important tool to help HMRC tackle these schemes and to protect members’ funds. HMRC takes a risk based approach to compliance which allows it to match resource at the right time to tackle this abuse. This resource includes pension specialists, and where appropriate, staff from many other areas across HMRC. HMRC is also working with other Government Departments to ensure that appropriate action is taken to stop any abuse.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 11/02/2015 16:51:12 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
