(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)

As in the case of a spouse of a partner or sole proprietor (see PSI3.2.14), if the spouse of a controlling director is to join the firm's pension scheme, we must be satisfied that the spouse's employment is genuine. Follow the procedure in PSI22.3.10and PSI22.3.14in such cases.
