Resumen
The Pensions Act 2004 established The Pensions Regulator (TPR) and the Pension Protection Fund (PPF). TPR has powers to regulate occupational pension schemes, issue improvement and contribution notices, and take anti-avoidance action. The PPF provides compensation for members of eligible defined benefit schemes where the employer becomes insolvent and the scheme is underfunded.
