Currently, AVC (Additional Voluntary Contributions) entered into Staffology are not applying tax relief, which misrepresents actual contributions for both employer and employee records. Furthermore, when generating the pension export file for People’s Pension, AVC amounts are missing entirely, meaning the data isn't submitted to the provider. This leads to underreported pension savings and could cause compliance issues.
It’s important that:
AVCs reflect appropriate tax treatment (relief at source or salary sacrifice setup).
Pension files include AVC data to ensure correct submission to providers like People’s Pension.
This improvement would benefit all users managing pensions through Staffology and help maintain accurate and compliant reporting.
