Final Data Cuts.

In Countdown Bulletin 53 we said that HMRC planned to complete the issue of the final data cuts by the end of July 2020. There were no significant delays to the proposed timeline. We issued all output received from the final data cut scans to the pension scheme administrator registered on our systems.

We were unable to issue data cuts to those schemes with nil output or where we have been unable to trace the scheme administrator.

If your scheme has not received its final data cut and you were appointed administrator of a scheme before 31 July 2020, contact the the Customer Relationship Team by email to CRM.schemereconciliationservice@hmrc.gov.uk.

The deadline for requesting the final data cut for your scheme is 31 July 2021.

HMRC will only publish final data cuts for:

  • schemes that engaged with the Scheme Reconciliation Service
  • ceased schemes with an ongoing file in the Scheme Cessation area in April 2018
