A significant change set for April 2027 could impact UK pensions held by British expatriates living in Spain. 

The UK government announced that from April 6, 2027, certain UK-held pensions will be included in the inheritance tax system, altering their treatment upon death. While the pensions will not lose value, they may become subject to UK inheritance tax, even for those who have moved abroad and are no longer UK residents.

The change is linked to the UK’s inheritance tax rules, which consider long-term residence rather than domicile.

Expats who have been UK tax residents for at least 10 of the past 20 years are still within UK inheritance tax scope, meaning pensions and other assets could be affected after that period. 

Experts suggest that some retirees may consider accessing their pensions or gifting assets before the deadline, but professional advice is crucial due to complex tax implications. The article emphasizes that expats need to understand how these rules could influence their estate planning and inheritance for their families, urging careful planning before the changes take effect.

Women, whether in the UK or abroad, need to be empowered to take control of their financial futures, as the gender pension gap is often underestimated and wider than commonly thought, especially for expat women.

The gap results from missed workplace pension years and lack of personal pension savings, leading to household wealth being concentrated in the working partner’s name, which poses risks in cases of divorce or partner’s death.

For UK expat women, voluntary National Insurance contributions can help build pension entitlement, but recent changes have made this more expensive and less accessible, requiring proactive effort. Employers managing international relocations could do more to support spouses’ pension planning.

Differences in pension systems across countries make international comparisons difficult, and divorce adds complexity, as UK pension sharing orders may not apply overseas, especially in jurisdictions that do not recognize pensions as divisible assets. Practical steps to improve long-term security include building personal assets and pension savings in one’s own name, maintaining National Insurance contributions, and ensuring ongoing retirement savings, measures that can reduce dependency and enhance financial security.
