flag UK inheritance tax now includes unused pensions, raising bills for families starting April 2027.

flag UK families face higher inheritance tax bills from April 2027 as Labour’s 2024 Autumn Budget extends the 40% tax to unused private pension funds, previously excluded from estates. flag This change could significantly increase liabilities, especially for those with large pensions and property, as these assets now count toward the £325,000 threshold, or £1 million with spousal transfers. flag Advisers warn the shift may disrupt inheritance planning, with unclear details on how the tax will be calculated and collected. flag While some explore mitigation strategies, many hesitate to alter retirement plans. flag Experts call for simplification of the complex system, as the government has yet to release full guidance.
