ii Sipp NOT on FCA Register??

ian.smith7

Hi All
I have opened an ii SIPP and printed off the downloadable transfer In forms, I have also received the transfer out forms from my current pensions provider.
When i sat down to fill in the forms i decided to check the ii SIPP on the FCA register and using the Info provided on the ii form there is nothing on the FCA register that fully matches up.

FCA search Page https://register.fca.org.uk/ShPo_HomePage

Info on the ii form
Sipp reference Number :00835804RJ
Provider BW SIPP LLP, 163 west george st, glasgow, G2 2JJ.

The SIPP number does not bring up any results and BW SIPP LLP is registered to an address in Cheapsides London.
I am a bit confused
can Anyone shed some light on this?
cheers

Ok so in the small print at the bottom of the page i have found some info that matches what is on the FCA website and the 00835804RJ number is a HMRC number not an FCA number.
But where can i check that HMRC Number ?

HMRC reference


You need to be aware that HMRC recently changed the format for all tax references for registered schemes. Take a look at the HMRC user guide for help in obtaining the tax reference:
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/contact/pension-scheme-enquiries
An example reference number is: 12345678RL.

Does this help?

ADD: Googling 'PSTR 00835804RJ' brings up 'BW SIPP LLP', so they appear to be currently registered as a tax-approved pension scheme with HMRC.

(PSTR = Pension Scheme Tax Reference)

PSTRs are not linked to the FCA register.
