Providing information to The Pensions Regulator
Most of the information we need comes from your s179 valuation information and the annual scheme return that you submit via The Pensions Regulator's Exchange system,
Submitting your scheme return
Schemes are still legally required to submit an Annual Scheme Return submission in full via Exchange, including s179 valuations and asset backed contribution (ABC) information.
Your annual scheme return needs to include a range of scheme information such as the membership split across employers and the split of assets that your scheme holds.
However, schemes no longer need to provide:
- Voluntary information that was previously submitted via Exchange solely to obtain a levy saving, including: deficit reduction contribution and contingent asset certifications.
- Any data previously submitted directly to the PPF – such as ABC certificates, contingent asset documents, special category employer (SCE) applications and Exempt Transfer evidence.
