It depends on your staging date. It's up to you if you want to bring your staging date forward so you can start the automatic enrolment. I don't see any problems here with HO if your staging date is after your extension.
Well, you may wish to seek expert opinion. My staging date is 2017 so am breathing fresh air for now as so many issues already(too much expenses). Although I intend to bring my staging date forward solely to make our recruitment attractive to the right candidate by having a pension package.
See copy n paste from the pension regulator below:
"The date your automatic enrolment duties start is called your staging date and is when the law comes into effect for you. It can be found on the letters about automatic enrolment that we send to you.
There are several tasks you’ll need to complete before your staging date to be ready to comply with your duties – for example, choosing a pension scheme.
Give yourself plenty of time before your staging date to prepare for automatic enrolment. This will allow you time to plan your finances, and find the best pension scheme for your staff and to carry out other tasks listed in this guide.
If you don't know your staging date, you can find it using your PAYE reference. If you don't pay your staff through a PAYE scheme, your staging date will be 1 April 2017.
