Tell us you're not an employer

If you've received a letter from us and believe you don't have automatic enrolment duties, you can use this form to inform us.

Automatic enrolment duties don't apply when an organisation, business or individual aren't considered to be an employer. For example, if you no longer employ any staff, you have ceased trading, or you’re the director of an organisation or business with no other employees.

If you're uncertain whether you have automatic enrolment duties, you can read what if I don’t have any staff.

By submitting this form you’re telling us that you, your organisation or business have no automatic enrolment duties. If you provide false or misleading information to avoid your duties, you may be fined or prosecuted.
