Significant changes to Inheritance Tax are on the horizon, with reforms due to take effect from 6 April 2027 that could reshape how estates are planned.

One of the key updates is the expected inclusion of unused pension funds and certain pension death benefits within the scope of Inheritance Tax. This marks a major shift, as pensions have traditionally been a highly effective way to pass on wealth outside of the IHT framework.

If your long-term plans include using your pension as part of your estate strategy, it’s important to understand how these changes could impact you.

We wrote a recent blog which explores:
• What the new rules mean from April 2027
• Who may be affected
• The steps you can take now to prepare

Early planning can make a real difference when it comes to protecting wealth for future generations.

Read the full blog and get in touch if you’d like support reviewing your estate planning strategy.

The end of the quarter is just a couple of weeks away which means it’s nearly time for Making Tax Digital quarterly reports to be submitted to HMRC.

If you’re self-employed or running a business now within the MTD system, this is a good time to make sure your records are up to date and your reporting process is in place.

From digital bookkeeping to quarterly submissions, the new requirements can feel confusing if you’re navigating them for the first time.

If you’re unsure what’s needed, need help preparing your records, or want support with your MTD submission, the team at Forth Accountancy is here to help.

Get in touch to make sure you’re ready before the quarter comes to an end.

Significant changes to the UK tax rules for internationally mobile individuals came into effect from 6 April 2025, introducing a new residence-based system for foreign income and gains.

Known as the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime, this replaces the former domicile-based remittance basis for many new arrivals. In some cases, qualifying individuals may be able to claim relief on foreign income and gains for up to four tax years, subject to meeting the relevant UK residence conditions.

With income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax all potentially impacted, understanding how the new rules apply is essential for anyone with international ties or cross-border financial interests.

Our latest blog breaks down what has changed, how the FIG regime works in practice, and what it could mean for your tax position.

Read the full article on our website to learn more and get in touch if you’d like tailored advice for your circumstances. https://www.forthaccountancy.co.uk/post/understanding-the-uk-fig-regime-income-tax-cgt-and-iht-from-6-april-2025

A temporary VAT reduction is being introduced for certain family activities and children’s meals over the 2026 summer holidays.

From 25 June to 1 September 2026, some eligible supplies will be subject to VAT at 5% instead of 20%.

The rules are quite specific, so not all tickets, meals or attractions will qualify. Businesses may need to review pricing, till systems, booking platforms and VAT codes before the changes take effect.

Read our latest blog for a breakdown of what may qualify, what may not, and what businesses should be doing now.
