New: pensions count from April 2027

From April 2027, your pension counts towards Inheritance Tax.

Most unused pension funds will be added to your estate. A few quick questions and you'll see what it means for yours.

Who is this for?

The wording changes to suit. Nothing is saved until you choose to share it.

What's your pension worth?

The total value of your pension pot, or the value of the death benefits it would pay out. This is the one figure we need.

£

What kind of pension is it?

This helps us tailor what the 2027 rules mean for you.

Have you taken your tax-free lump sum?

Up to 25% of most pensions can be taken tax-free.

How old are you?

Age 75 is a turning point for how inherited pensions are taxed.

What's your home worth?

Your main residence. Enter 0 if you don't own one.

£

Any other property?

Buy-to-lets, second homes, land. Enter 0 if none. Optional.

£

Cash savings

Bank and building society accounts, cash ISAs, premium bonds, NS&I.

£

Investments — not your pension

Stocks & shares ISAs, shares, funds, bonds. Leave your pension out — that's already counted.

£

Business assets

The value of any business you own. Enter 0 if none, then tell us whether it qualifies for relief.

£

Does it meet all of these?

  • Held in your sole name
  • Owned for more than 2 years
  • A trading business (working capital) — not investments
  • Not residential property

Any other assets?

Gold, vehicles, art, jewellery, antiques. Enter 0 if none. Optional.

£

Mortgage & debts

Anything owed against your estate. Enter 0 if none.

£

Gifts in the last 7 years

Large gifts can still count towards your estate. Enter 0 if none. Optional.

£

Are you leaving your home to children or grandchildren?

This can unlock an extra £175,000 of allowance.

What's your marital status?

Married, civil-partnered and widowed estates can pass unused allowances on — up to £1m between a couple.
