The 2027 Pension Changes: What Wealthy Families Must Know

The biggest change to inheritance tax in decades is coming. For the first time, pension funds will be included in your estate for IHT purposes, potentially adding hundreds of thousands to your tax bill.

1

Pensions Lose IHT Protection

SIPPs, workplace pensions, and drawdown funds will be subject to 40% IHT for deaths after 6 April 2027. Previously, these were IHT-free.

2

Massive Impact on Wealthy Estates

A couple with £1.2M in pensions could face an additional £350,000 IHT bill. Many families will see their total IHT liability double.

3

Planning Time is Running Out

Effective IHT strategies often require years to implement. The seven-year rule for gifts means starting before 2027 is crucial for maximum benefit.
