For many people, a pension is one of their biggest assets. From April 2027, it could also become an important inheritance tax (IHT) consideration. From this date, most unused pension funds will be included when the value of someone's estate is calculated for IHT purposes.
For some families, this will make little difference. For others, especially those with larger pension pots or estates, it could mean that more tax is due and less wealth passes to loved ones.
In the coming months, we’ll publish a series of articles exploring what the new rules could mean for people and their estate-planning decisions.
In our latest blog post, we explain what’s changing, who may be affected and some practical steps to consider.
