(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)

If you are unable to meet our published response time, you should let the customer know the reason for the delay within the first target period. You may use form PS36 for general delays and form PS37 for delays caused by the need to refer elsewhere for advice before replying.

In certain circumstances you might think it more advisable to contact the practitioner by telephone.
