Budget round up
- Small self administered scheme (SSAS) funds can no longer be used to pass on pension funds tax free on death. Any increase in the pension rights of one member following the death of another member - if the two members are family or partners - will be treated as an unauthorised payment subject to a tax charge of 70%, which when combined with inheritance will bring the potential charge to 82%. The charge will not apply if the scheme has 20 or more members and the benefits are spread equally.
