Major changes to UK inheritance tax rules are set to affect pension holders from April 2027. For many British expatriates, UK pensions have long been regarded as one of the most tax-efficient assets to pass on to beneficiaries. However, the upcoming reforms could significantly increase the inheritance tax burden on families, making it more important than ever to review your arrangements and plan ahead.

In this episode, Nick Cairns, Senior Partner at Blevins Franks, explore what the new rules mean for British expatriates and why the changes could have a far-reaching impact on estate planning.

  • How could the new rules affect British expatriates and their beneficiaries?
  • Why might inheritance tax liabilities increase significantly for some families?
  • Does living abroad remove you from the UK inheritance tax system?
  • What planning opportunities may be available to help reduce future tax exposure?
  • Why is it important to review your pension and estate planning arrangements sooner rather than later?
