HMRC Announces Major VAT Policy Shift for Pension Fund Management Costs

  • HMRC announced a policy change on VAT deductions for pension fund management costs.
  • Previously, VAT deductions were split between employers and pension trustees.
  • Now, all input VAT on investment costs can be deducted by the employer.
  • 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.
