Did you know that from 6 April 2027, most pensions will be included in your estate when calculating
Inheritance Tax?
The shake-up is expected to lead to an additional 10,500 estates becoming liable for the tax in
2027/28, and around 38,500 estates will pay more tax due to the reforms1.

To help you understand if the reforms could affect you and navigate the potential changes, we’ve put
together a useful guide that outlines what you need to know, from Inheritance Tax thresholds to
how you might manage your estate’s liability.
