UK homeowners face large inheritance tax bills

UK households could face substantial inheritance tax bills, with a single homeowner potentially owing over £80,000. A homeowner with a £290,395 property and a £415,000 pension could face an £82,158 inheritance tax bill. Unspent pension savings will count towards estates for IHT from April 2027. Frozen tax thresholds and rising asset values mean more middle-income households are affected by inheritance tax.
