Could a Junior SIPP help with the 2027 Inheritance Tax changes?
From 6th April 2027, proposed changes mean that unused pension funds are expected to come within the scope of Inheritance Tax.
For families looking at how wealth could be passed on to the next generation, this may be a good time to consider whether there are other ways to plan for the future.
One option is making pension contributions for children or grandchildren through a Junior SIPP.
With the right circumstances, contributions can benefit from tax relief and, because the pension belongs to the child, may provide a way of transferring wealth while also giving the next generation a long-term investment.
Of course, there are rules and considerations to understand, including gifting allowances, access restrictions and the long-term nature of pension investing.

A pension is a long-term investment the fund value may fluctuate and can go down. Your eventual income may depend upon the size of the fund at retirement, future interest rates and tax legislation.
HM Revenue and Customs practice and the law relating to taxation are complex and subject to individual circumstances and changes which cannot be foreseen. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate tax planning.
Tax concessions are not guaranteed and may change in the future. Tax free means the investor pays no tax.
