Signing the Declaration of Compliance 

Declaration of Compliance: what it is and how to help your clients do it right

The Declaration of Compliance is how your clients show they’ve met their auto-enrolment duties. It’s a legal step and doing it on time keeps them compliant. 

Here’s how to get it done. 

What is it? 

It’s a quick online form every company must submit to The Pensions Regulator.

It confirms that: 

  • They’ve assessed the employees
  • Eligible employees are enrolled in a workplace pension 
  • The scheme is set up and running properly 

It’s done once when duties start, then every three years at re-enrolment.

Key details to know 

Here’s the key information your client companies will need:

  • Deadline: Within 5 months of their duties start date (or third staging date anniversary) 
  • Pension provider: Smart Pension 
  • Scheme name: Smart Pension Master Trust 
  • Pension Scheme Registry (PSR) number: 12011089 
  • Employer Pension Scheme Reference (EPSR): We’ll email this directly to the company – it’s unique to their business 

Running late or think you might be? Let The Pensions Regulator know to avoid the risk of a fine.
