HMRC would then work with the scheme to help correct their tax position.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is continuing to work with the pension schemes that have informed if an error has been made, but is unable to give more detail of these cases as this could prejudice future HMRC compliance activity.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
