£400 Fine for Late Filing of Declaration of Compliance Forms

The whole area of Workplace Pensions has caused confusion amongst companies, especially SMEs, who often do not have the staffing levels needed to be able to comfortably manage the time required to fully comply with the legislation. At least that’s the message that we are hearing from some of our payroll clients. In particular, the Declaration of Compliance is something that is causing problems and leading to fines of up to £400.

We’re finding that many of our clients have been running the Workplace Pensions process themselves, and at some stage when things aren’t clear, especially with the requirements of the Declaration of Compliance, the whole process becomes very difficult and time consuming. The numbers, it seems, are increasing, and if the declaration is not correctly completed and filed within 5 months of the stating date, non-complying companies are being hit with fines of £400.
