Pensions, death and tax.

The treatment of pensions on death has come under the spotlight since the Autumn Budget, when the Government announced their intention to bring discretionary pension schemes into the scope of IHT from April 2027.

With pensions just another asset for IHT purposes, what if anything should we be thinking about when it comes to IHT planning? The session will last for around 60 minutes, with plenty of time afterwards for the usual Q&A.

Les Cameron (Head of Technical, M&G)

In this session, he takes a walk through the pension death benefit landscape – where we've been, where we are right now, and what the future may hold.
