flag UK tax authorities recovered £246M in unpaid inheritance tax in 2024–25 using AI and data, as thresholds remain frozen and new rules loom.

flag HMRC recovered £246 million in unpaid inheritance tax in 2024–25 through 3,977 investigations, using AI and data from sources like the Land Registry and Google Maps to detect underpayments. flag The tax, charged at 40% on estates over £325,000, affects more middle-income families as thresholds remain frozen until 2031. flag Experts urge timely use of allowances—like the £3,000 annual gift exemption—before they expire, especially with pension pots set to count toward IHT from 2027. flag Gifts within seven years of death may still be taxed, while unused allowances can be transferred between spouses. flag Overpayments due to falling asset values led to £300 million in refunds.
