Labour to raid savings of workers who die before pension age

  • Families may face inheritance tax on pension savings if a loved one dies before retirement age, starting in April 2027, according to HMRC.
  • The new tax will apply to pension assets exceeding the threshold of £325,000, raising concerns among families.
  • Ian Cook, a wealth manager, has labeled the policy as "abhorrent," warning it could heavily impact families trying to save for retirement.
  • The Treasury defended its policy, stating that over 90% of estates will still not owe inheritance tax after these adjustments.
