The Biggest Pension Tax Change In A Generation?

For years pensions were seen as one of the safest ways to pass wealth to the next generation.

Proposed changes from April 2027 could significantly alter that position and create questions many families have never had to ask before.

The Autumn 2024 Budget may prove to be one of the biggest inheritance tax changes many families have seen in decades.

For years, pensions were viewed as one of the safest and most tax-efficient ways to pass wealth to the next generation.

That is now changing.

From April 2027, pensions and SIPPs are expected to become part of the inheritance tax conversation in a way many families never anticipated.

And for some families, the consequences could be substantial.

This has raised serious questions:

How much tax could my family face?

Could pensions be taxed twice?

Should I make changes now or wait?

What options actually exist?

To help answer these questions, we created our Pension Briefing Series.

Watch our complimentary one-hour Pension Briefing, where we explain the proposed changes and the issues many families are now beginning to face.

Inheritance Tax: The Rules Have Changed

Many families still believe inheritance tax only affects the very wealthy.

That was true years ago.

Today, rising property values, pensions, investment growth and frozen thresholds mean many families are quietly drifting into inheritance tax territory without even realising it.

  • How inheritance tax actually works

  • The most common planning mistakes

  • Why wills alone rarely solve the problem

  • The £2 million threshold trap

  • Why delaying decisions can become expensive

Included:

  • Inheritance Tax Video Briefings

  • Estate Planning Reports

  • Downloadable Guides

The Estate Architect Library

Estate planning should never be based on headlines, newspaper articles or one opinion from one adviser.

One change in one area often creates consequences elsewhere.

That is why we continue building our private Briefings Library.

  • Pensions.

  • Inheritance Tax.
