Double tax raid 'disaster' for pensioners after Rachel Reeves' rule change
Budget 2024: Inherited pensions subject to inheritance tax in 2025
A decision in the Budget to bring pension pots into inheritance tax threatens to leave middle income households in poverty in old age, it is claimed.
A former pensions minister and finance industry expert, Ros Altmann, said the move will seriously remove a key incentive for paying money into a private pension.
Under the existing rules, if a pension holder dies before the age of 75, their beneficiaries can typically inherit the remaining funds tax-free, whether as a lump sum or as income.
After age 75, the inherited pension is taxed at the beneficiary’s marginal income tax rate - 20 percent, 40 percent or 45 percent.
The changes announced in the October Budget mean pension funds left to beneficiaries could now be treated as part of the deceased’s estate for IHT purposes. This means they will be subject to the standard 40 percent tax rate above the £325,000 nil-rate band.

On arriving at the Greek Cathedral in Birmingham for a friend’s memorial service, the 84-year-old was shocked to discover new parking arrangements which meant he could only leave his car if he paid by app or used an automated payment line.
In this age of ‘computer says no’, he could not get to grips with either of these options but, rather than miss the service, he decided to leave his car anyway.
Back home, he called his son to ask if he could help explain to the parking company what had happened and try to remedy the situation.
Nobody took any notice of Pete’s explanations and it wasn’t long before a fine landed on his father’s doormat — a fine he will never be able to pay as he had sadly passed away in the interim, leaving his grieving son to navigate the labyrinthine administration involved in trying to have the penalty annulled.
'For centuries older generations have had to accommodate the advances taking place around them. Nonetheless,
