Recommendation
We have heard devastating evidence from pension scam victims who were persuaded to hand their savings over to a scammer because the scam pension scheme was registered with HMRC. We welcome the action that has led to a reduction in cases such as this. HMRC should make clear that a tax reference is not any endorsement of a given scheme.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government's response discusses HMRC's empathetic approach to customers, tax liabilities on unauthorised payments, and limited discretionary powers. It does not address the specific recommendation that HMRC should make clear that a tax reference is not an endorsement of a given scheme.
