Pensions could face double tax from April 2027 — here’s what dentists need to know.

For many practice owners, pensions are a key part of building long-term financial security. But changes to inheritance tax rules could mean pension planning needs a closer look.

From April 2027, some unused pension funds may be included within your estate for inheritance tax purposes, potentially changing how they are treated when passed on.

For dentists who have built significant wealth through their practice, understanding how your pension fits into your wider financial plan is more important than ever.

The right decisions made today can help you plan with greater confidence for the future.

Want to understand what these changes could mean for you?

Join our upcoming webinar to learn more about inheritance tax planning and the key considerations for dentists.

Stop HMRC taking 40% of your life savings.

Inheritance tax planning is something many dentists put off — but waiting too long can limit the options available to you.

For practice owners, it’s not just about personal savings. The value of your dental practice, property and other assets can all play a part in how much of your wealth is passed on to the next generation.

The good news? With the right planning, there are often steps you can take to better understand your position and prepare for the future.

Building a successful dental practice takes years of hard work. Making sure that value is protected should be part of the plan too.

Dentists work incredibly hard to build their practices and wealth. But without the right planning, HMRC could end up as one of your biggest beneficiaries.

Ross and Simon break down one of the most overlooked financial challenges in dentistry: Inheritance Tax (IHT).

They cover:
- Why timing is everything – and why waiting until retirement is often too late.
- The classic IHT traps that catch practice owners off guard.
- Practical steps to keep your wealth in your family's hands, not the taxman’s.

If IHT is something you’ve been "meaning to get around to," let's turn that intent into action.

Join our upcoming IHT Webinar where we’ll lay out these strategies in detail and answer your questions live.
