flag Starting April 2027, UK pensions will face 40% inheritance tax, raising concerns over outdated, unadjusted tax allowances.

flag Starting April 2027, UK inheritance tax will expand to include pensions, subjecting them to the 40% rate. flag Fixed allowances—such as the £325,000 nil-rate band and £3,000 annual gift exemption—have not been adjusted since 2009 and 1981, respectively, leading to higher tax burdens as asset values rise. flag Experts warn the outdated system could cost families up to £3,400 more annually, prompting calls for a simplified, inflation-indexed tax-free allowance to ensure fairness and reduce complexity.
