PSI1.3.24 - Establishment and Administration of Retirement Benefits Schemes: Exempt Approved Schemes and Conformity with Trust Law - Oral Trusts - Scottish Cases


(This archived guidance relates to HMRC discretionary practice before the 6th April 2006. For current guidance on Registered Pension Schemes see the Registered Pension Schemes Manual)

In Scottish cases, the board resolution procedure should be supplemented by a declaration by the company and the trustees endorsed on a copy of the rules. This declaration should identify the rules as those regulating the scheme, the company must undertake to perform its obligations and make the required contributions, and the trustees must accept office. Any newly appointed trustee must sign a similar statement of acceptance of trust (see PSI1.3.39).
