The Pensions Act 2004 introduced fundamental changes to pensions provision in the UK and whilst the secondary legislation is still emerging, the main structure is now in place. Despite the intention to simplify pensions provision, both practitioners and scheme managers still have a minefield to negotiate if they are to be fully compliant with the new rules and regulations. Tolley’s Guide to the Pensions Act 2004 lays down the main aspects of the new law and secondary legislation in a clear and accessible way to ensure that you are fully compliant.

Tolley’s Guide to the Pensions Act 2004 provides both scheme managers, trustees and advisors with an easily accessible source of legislation as well as practical examples of problem-solving to ensure that you give your clients the correct advice.
