UK plans inheritance tax changes targeting unused pensions and tax-free lump sums, risking retirement security and sparking backlash.
UK households face potential inheritance tax changes in the upcoming Autumn Budget, with the Labour government considering extending IHT to unused pension pots and possibly eliminating the 25% tax-free lump sum allowance.
Experts warn these moves could discourage long-term savings and force retirees to withdraw funds prematurely, reducing retirement security.
Meanwhile, frozen tax thresholds since 2009 and 2017 have significantly increased tax burdens, with the inheritance tax nil-rate band now worth nearly £504,000 in real terms.
The government may need £50 billion in new revenue, prompting scrutiny of IHT reforms, though changes could spark backlash from middle-class families relying on gifting.
