HMRC: HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is reminding pension schemes that 2006/07 Pension Scheme Returns and Event Reports must be filed online by 31 January 2008. So if you're a pension scheme administrator, or you're acting on behalf of one, and need to register for HMRC's Pension Schemes Online service, you must do so as soon as possible.

 

To register, visit HMRC's online registration page and select 'Pensions'.  It can take up to seven working daysto activate a new account - as some information has to be sent by post - so don't leave it too late.

BERR: Competitiveness Minister Stephen Timms has set out the final timetable for the implementation of the Companies Act 2006 and confirmed that a number of de-regulatory measures of benefit to business will come into force with effect from 1 October 2008.

 

The confirmation follows the announcement in November that the final implementation date for the Companies Act will now be 1 October 2009, rather than 1 October 2008.
