Recognised overseas pension schemes notification list 3 March 2021

The list of Recognised Overseas Pensions Schemes (ROPS) notifications has been updated.

The list is of schemes that have told HMRC they meet the conditions to be a ROPS and have asked to be included on the list.

There have been ten scheme names added to the list. No names have been removed, and no amendments have been cited in this update.

A very welcome change is that HMRC now lists the updates, as follows.

Schemes added
