FAQ

Unfortunately, because the SSAS Administration industry is so competitive and the guidance from HMRC is written for pension people, it is very difficult to find any basic information or answers to common questions surrounding the administration of SSAS’. We have therefore decided to include this page with our views and responses to frequently asked questions. Please remember that these are our views which cannot be relied upon as advice, but if you do wish to discuss anything published here or your scheme’s specific situation, then please feel free to call us on 01606 837695.
