Unauthorised payments.

A payment by a SIPP or SSAS that is not authorised is an ‘unauthorised payment’ and is likely to give rise to tax charges on the member(s) and the pension scheme (via the Scheme Administrator), and in the case of a SSAS, the sponsoring employer. There will also be a tax charge where a pension scheme exceeds the borrowing limit.
