PSI15.2.9 - Overseas Employers and Overseas Employees: Overseas Employees - Schemes under Trust in the UK


(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)

Another way of providing benefits for overseas employees is to set up a retirement benefits scheme under trust in the UK. If scheme membership is limited to employees whose service is wholly overseas it falls within section 615(6) ICTA 1988. Any enquiries regarding such schemes must be referred to Foreign Schemes Section.
