Business relief is being slashed. Pension pots are entering your estate. The rules are changing fast — and you need a plan before it’s too late.
With business relief being slashed, growing uncertainty around Inheritance Tax on pensions, and worries about changes to tax-free cash allowances, business owners face increasing challenges in protecting and planning their personal wealth.
You’ve worked hard over the years to build up a pension; it’s only natural to assume that your loved ones will benefit from it in a tax-efficient way. After all, pensions have traditionally been excluded from your Estate for Inheritance Tax (IHT) purposes.
However, these pensions are set to count towards your Inheritance Tax liability from 6 April 2027.
Under the proposed rules, pension pots could face two layers of tax — significantly reducing the amount your family might receive and increasing the share taken by HMRC.
With upcoming changes to tax rules and reliefs, the risk of leaving your Estate exposed to avoidable tax is growing. These developments require more than awareness — they necessitate a proactive and strategic response.
Understanding how the new regime affects your personal and business wealth is critical, and so is taking steps to protect it now, before the window closes.
Business Relief changes mean assets you assumed were protected may no longer be exempt from IHT.
Pension pots entering your estate from April 2027 could dramatically increase your IHT liability.
Tax-free cash allowance changes may affect how efficiently you can extract wealth from your business.
