Sign up to help shape the future of pensions dashboards
It’s no secret that millions of people in the UK find it hard to keep track of their pensions, subsequently
meaning it’s more difficult for them to plan for their retirements. The new MoneyHelper Pensions
Payroll-only service providers are those that don’t interact with HMRC in any other way on behalf of their clients. For example, they aren’t an accountancy practice. There’ll then be a period of three months following 18 November 2026 in which payroll-only service providers can register to apply for an ASA, which means the final deadline date for registration is 18 February 2027. If payroll- only service providers want to register from 18 May 2026, they’re able to, even though there’s no requirement to do this until a later date. To register for an ASA, businesses must be supervised by an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Supervisor. HMRC provides AML supervision, and further information can be obtained here: https://ow.ly/uM0550YsONL. Initially, the CIPP had intentions to register with the Office for Professional Body Anti-Money Laundering Supervision or ‘OPBAS’ to become a Professional Body Supervisor, in order to support our members. However, HM Treasury recently announced that AML supervision will now be managed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We’ve openly offered to support the FCA in a recent consultation response, which can be located here: https://ow.ly/gJwG50YsORh. Payroll News
Dashboard will bring information about an individual’s pensions together in one secure place and will also include details of their state pension. It will show the value of their pensions both today and at retirement, so they have a clearer picture of their future finances. More information on this can be found here: https:// ow.ly/IpBX50YsORF. Testing of the MoneyHelper Pensions Dashboard is currently underway and there’s the opportunity to get involved, have your say and potentially influence how pensions dashboards will work in the future. You can join up here: https://ow.ly/UhjP50YsOS9. If you join, you’ll be invited to take part in research to make the dashboard as helpful and easy to use as possible. On a side note, testing is in its early stages, so you may not see all your pensions in the dashboard just yet.
