Appeal against de-registration

[Section 159]

[The Taxes Management Act 1970 (Modifications to Schedule 3 for Pension Scheme Appeals) Order 2005. SI 2005/3457]

The scheme administrator (or any other person who received the notification of withdrawal of registration because there was no scheme administrator) may appeal against HMRC's decision to de-register the scheme.

The time limit for making an appeal is thirty days from the date of the letter containing the decision.

Pages at RPSM12102000 onwards, explain the appeals process, including the possibility of a HMRC review of the decision.

Under the appeal and review process either HMRC or, if necessary, a tribunal may decide whether the decision was right.

If it is decided that the decision was wrong, the pension scheme is to be treated as if it had remained a registered pension scheme.
