flag UK to tax pension inheritances at up to 67% starting 2027, complicating retirement planning.

flag In 2014, George Osborne introduced Pension Freedom, allowing retirees to withdraw funds from their pensions. flag However, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced in 2024 that pensions will be subject to inheritance tax starting in 2027, which may cause financial strain for beneficiaries, as they could face a tax rate of up to 67%. flag This change could lead to an increase in annuities and affect adviser fees. flag Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) schemes are seen as a potential solution to improve pension outcomes, but their success is uncertain. flag The new IHT rules could also create significant delays in distributing funds to beneficiaries, complicating the retirement planning process.
