Service Overview
What is Pension Auto-Enrolment?
In the UK, Pension Auto-Enrolment is a legal requirement under the Pensions Act 2008. Every employer with at least one member of staff must put certain staff into a workplace pension scheme and contribute towards it.
At Acumen Accountants and Tax Advisor (AcumenAGC), we act as your dedicated UK pension specialists. We don’t just “set it up”; we manage the ongoing assessment of your workforce, calculate contributions accurately, and ensure your Declaration of Compliance is filed correctly with The Pensions Regulator. Whether you are a new startup hiring your first employee or an established London firm looking to switch providers, we provide the technical expertise to keep your business compliant.

FAQ
Statutory Audit Services: London & UK FAQ
What are the minimum employer contributions in the UK?
Currently, the total minimum contribution is 8% of qualifying earnings. As an employer, you must contribute at least 3%, while the employee makes up the remaining 5%.
Who is an "Eligible Jobholder" for auto-enrolment?
An employee is an eligible jobholder if they are aged between 22 and the State Pension age, earn over £10,000 per year, and “ordinarily” work in the UK.
What happens if I miss my Declaration of Compliance deadline?
Failing to complete your declaration within five months of your duties start date can result in a statutory notice and significant daily fines from The Pensions Regulator.
Can I handle pension auto-enrolment myself?
While possible, it is highly technical. Most UK business owners prefer using professional pension auto-enrolment in London to ensure the calculations for “qualifying earnings” are accurate and to avoid the 200% penalty for incorrect filings.
Is AcumenAGC a specialist for UK limited companies?
Yes. Acumen AGC are pension auto-enrolment specialists for UK limited companies, helping directors manage their own contributions alongside their staff’s.
