- This change is based on a European Court of Justice decision.
- HMRC’s announcement lacks detailed guidance on the new rules.
- More detailed guidance from HMRC is expected soon.
- Employers managing pension schemes may benefit from increased VAT deductions.
- Those involved in pension fund management should review current VAT treatment and await further guidance.
