Exemption from mandatory participation in the industrywide pension fund for your own pension scheme

Mandatory participation in the industry pension fund is an overlooked issue for some employers. Not always is there consideration of possible mandatory participation. The employer assumes that there is no mandatory pension scheme and offers its employees its “own” pension scheme. At the start of business activities, when there is a change in business activities, or when there is a change in the workforce (for example, due to mergers/acquisitions), it is wise for an employer to consider whether there is mandatory participation in an industrywide pension fund (IPF). No employer wants to deal with the applicability of two different pension schemes. Aside from the unforeseen premium burden associated with it, there can be significant tax problems. That’s why it’s a good idea to have a check performed by the specialists at Meijer Pensioen. For questions, you can always call or email us.
