New Tax Year: SSAS Loan and Rent Payment Holidays During the Coronavirus Epidemic
New Tax Year: SSAS Loan and Rent Payment Holidays During the Coronavirus Epidemic
We have received a lot of
enquiries about whether it is possible to suspend or reduce loan repayments or
rental payments to SSASs until business conditions improve.
The standard HMRC guidance has
recently been supplemented with some additional feedback and our current
understanding and approach is as follows:
·
The duty of the pension Scheme Administrator and
Trustees is to act in the best interests of the pension scheme members - even
where the members are the same as the company directors.
·
Any decisions made must therefore follow this
principle.
