Government confirms delay of pension auto-enrolment

Not a hope in hell of meeting a nice round number of Jan 01 2026. In practice, it would need to be ready by the end of Nov 2025 (6 months away) and with December basically being holiday season, there's no way could they fix any issues before Jan01.
 
While I agree with autoenrollment, this is a mess. From having low fees to adding in a fixed monthly fee that will have a bigger impact on small members. The tax treatment is unnecessarily complex. If you are contributing to a pension already, you are exempt from the scheme...which means you are trading the employer contribution to avail of higher tax relief.

In the UK, they did a gradual roll out, targeting the bigger employers first and then gradually including small companies. Copying what other countries have done isn't a difficult thing to do.
