The UK Budget is just a few weeks away, and speculation is growing over what tax reforms may be announced by the new Prime Minister and Chancellor. In this two-part series, James Stirling, Financial Adviser at Blevins Franks, cuts through the noise to focus on what we know so far and what it could mean for UK taxpayers and expatriates.

New Bay Radio episode: a major change to how UK pensions are taxed on death will come into effect in just a few months’ time. In this episode, we explore what the reform means, who it affects, and the potential impact it could have on families, using practical examples to illustrate the changes.

  • What exactly does this reform entail, and why is it considered so significant?
  • Does it affect British expatriates as well as UK residents?
  • Is inheritance tax the only concern, or could there be additional tax implications for children who inherit UK pension funds?

Tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; individuals should seek personalised advice.
