PSI18.1.17 - Application for Approval and Information Provisions: Application for Approval - Date of Approval - Late Applications


(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)

Where an application is received late (see PSI18.1.13), the date on which approval will be granted is as follows:
  1. Non-discretionary schemes: approval will be granted from the later of the start of the tax year in which a valid application was made or the date of the trust.
  2. Discretionary schemes: approval will be granted from the later of the start of the tax year in which a valid application was made or the date of the trust, the date the first contribution was paid/Life Office assumed the risk, or the date the first member was notified.
