Pension Scheme Software FAQs

Contents

Do I need software to be able to file Pension Schemes forms and returns over the Internet?

Yes. Details of successfully tested Pension Schemes Internet filing enabled software are listed on the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) website.

You can choose to use:

  • our free online Pension Schemes product, or
  • 3rd party software.

If you already use a 3rd party software package, you may wish to speak with your software supplier to see if it will let you send Pension Scheme forms and returns over the Internet.

Do I have to stay connected to the Internet when completing my Pension Schemes forms and returns?

This will depend on which software you are using. Our free online Pension Schemes product requires the user to be online when completing and filing forms & returns. However, the product does have the facility for most forms to save partially completed forms and returns, allowing you to add and edit information later.

Some 3rd party software products may let you complete forms and returns whilst not connected to the Internet, so you will need to confirm this with the software supplier. You can find more information on the software products available at the Pension Schemes Online: Internet software and forms page.
