From 2027, pensions will fall into your estate for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes.

A quick update for small employers.

From 6 April 2026, the Small Employers’ Relief compensation rate increased to 9%.

This is a small change, but it could still be a useful boost to cash flow.

Now is a good time to check if your business is eligible and your payroll processes are up to date.
