Labour cancels wealth tax plans – how it could affect your portfolio
The Labour Party has ruled out major tax changes were it to win the next general election.
The news will be well-received by those looking to preserve their wealth over the long term, but doesn’t necessarily rule out other methods of making money for the Treasury.
Labour Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has ruled out any new wealth taxes were the party to win power in 2024, when the next general election is due.
Party leader Keir Starmer has also ruled out hikes to income tax if he should be the next Prime Minister.
However, government budgets are extremely tight. With little room for borrowing – as Liz Truss’s controversial mini-Budget in 2022 demonstrated – raising taxes or cutting spending are the only realistic alternatives.
Taxation still looks like the most probable route for any government trying to balance the books. Short of creating miraculous economic growth, this would seem to be the only way forward.
What tax changes could we be in for?
The current government has already done a lot of tax tweaking to bring more cash in, without hiking headline rates.
Chief among these is pinning tax bands and allowances. The effect of this is with inflation and wage rises, more people are tipped into higher income tax bands.
For inheritance tax (IHT), it means every year more estates become liable to pay death duties.
Other areas where rates have been tweaked are changes to dividend taxes and capital gains tax.
Since the government has already fiddled with these, they might not be attractive options. Nonetheless, there are other potential sources.
Changing the rules around pensions tax relief is a long-mooted idea – either by equalising the relief to one rate, likely 30%, or doing away with the higher rate relief altogether.
Another, more unusual idea, floated in the Financial Times by Sushil Wadwhani – a former Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member – was taxing inflation by imposing a 100% tax on pay rises above 3%.
While this idea is somewhat fantastical, it illustrates that there are plenty of “innovative” ideas out there to find new ways of taxing wealth.
What can you do?
The Labour Party has been praised for ruling out new wealth taxes in a sign that it is willing to accept that some people have been able to accrue significant portfolios through hard work and over a long period of time.
The constant chopping and changing of tax rules and structures is also destabilising and creates ever more issues for families who are just trying to do the right thing.
It should also be caveated that these comments are by no means a guarantee, particularly as political and economic imperatives change frequently. The Labour Party is set to publish its manifesto ahead of the next general election, which must take place by December 2024. It is likely that we will find out more about potential plans then.
The best way to ensure that tax liabilities are managed carefully and effectively is to work with an adviser to ensure wealth growth is given the best opportunity to succeed and structured appropriately for your circumstances at all times, whatever the climate.
EU charity tax relief gift warning for estates
Leaving money to an EU-based charity will soon lose its tax-free status thanks to changes made to inheritance tax rules in March.
It is not uncommon for people to bequeath part of their wealth to charitable causes after they die. Up until this year such gifts have incurred no inheritance tax liabilities and are often seen as a positive way to give out wealth to those who might most need it.
Nevertheless, in the Government’s Budget in March, part of the fresh rules included a tweak to the relief on charitable gifts, which means that the tax relief would only be available to UK-based charities.
The change to the rules immediately impacted foreign charities. However, there is a transition period in place for EU-based charities until April 2024.
After that point any charity that is not based in the UK, including EU charities, will no longer be able to claim charitable tax relief on donations. Any estate bequeathing to a non-UK charity will lose the inheritance tax relief previously available.
How does charitable tax relief work?
Currently you can bequeath an unlimited amount of money to charity in your will and incur no inheritance tax (IHT) liabilities.
If you gift 10% or more of your estate to charity it reduces your IHT rate from a 40% charge on wealth over the nil rate band to 36%. It is one of many measures that are effective in reducing the overall potential IHT bill when you die.
With more estates moving into IHT liability, particularly with the bands frozen for more than a decade, this is no inconsiderable way to mitigate some of the potential liability.
What does the tax relief change mean?
Mitigating IHT through charitable donations is still a viable way of reducing your eventual IHT liability. However, the caveat is now that this will only apply to UK-based charitable donations from April 2024.
It is an incredibly tough decision to make, but if a non-UK charity is currently named as a beneficiary of your estate in your will, then this could have significant implications for the eventual tax bill to be paid by your estate.
If the charity you have in mind has UK-based entities, then ensuring you specify it will go to that branch will still be an effective strategy. However, outside of the UK, the same no longer applies.
This could also have an effect on British expats based in the EU with charitable giving in mind, as they could be caught out gifting to charities where they live abroad too.
If you have a nominated charity in your will that isn’t UK-based and would like to discuss your options, or for any other questions around inheritance tax planning and how charitable giving relief works, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Bank of Mum and Dad: how to help your kids without compromising your plans
Nearly half (47%) of all property purchases in the UK will take place with the help from the so-called Bank of Mum and Dad (BOMAD) this year, according to new research.
The help from BOMAD will amount to around £8 billion according to the research from financial services provider Legal & General, towards the purchase of around 318,400 properties – a record level.
This is set to rise even more to £10 billion by 2025, says the firm. More than half of parents or grandparents (58%) help their family purchase a property do so for first-time buyers.
Bernie Hickman, CEO, Legal & General Retail says: “Family wealth is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for homeownership, effectively locking some groups out of the housing market for years while they save for deposits, or even altogether.
“While family gifting has always played a prominent role in the UK housing market, our study shows that the value of those contributions has risen by more than a quarter on pre- pandemic levels.”
Generational wealth planning
It is in many ways a positive that a family has worked hard enough to be able to help their loved ones buy their own home.
Getting on the property ladder is increasingly difficult with rising mortgage rates and historically high prices compared to wage levels. However, this can have implications for the parents or grandparents’ own financial plans.
Hickman explains: “An increasing reliance on family members isn’t only an issue for those seeking to buy – it is important to acknowledge the financial strain it can place on the giver, particularly if they are undertaking this commitment without financial advice. By dipping into savings and pensions, family members may be compromising on their own retirement incomes.”
So, what can you do to ensure help for your family, while not compromising your own plans? Having a generational wealth plan in place is key.
As a starting point, if you want to help with a home purchase, then planning for that as early as possible is essential. That money should be earmarked and in the right kind of account in order to minimise tax liabilities, particularly around pensions.
There are ways to contribute early on to your children or grandchildren’s financial future, such as setting up a junior ISA (JISA). However, the potential pitfall with a JISA is once the child turns 18, they gain full control of that pot. Although they might be financially responsible, not all 18-year-olds are, or they may have other priorities such as paying for university.
So, if you want to earmark that cash specifically for a house deposit, it might be wise to retain control of it yourself until the time comes.
It is also really important to consider inheritance tax (IHT) gifting rules. You can give as much as you like to a child, but under the seven-year rule, you’ll have to live for seven years past the gifting date for your estate to fully expunge any potential IHT liability for the gift.
Finally, as Hickman suggests, giving away a significant lump sum can have an impact on your own future financial stability and access to funds. In order to ensure the gift doesn’t have a detrimental effect, it is a good idea to go through the process of cashflow modelling.
Cashflow modelling can help you to decide where the best place is to draw the gift from, be it an ISA, pension, or even through selling other assets such as your property (if you’re planning on downsizing). Each option will have its benefits and drawbacks and should be discussed carefully with an adviser.
Top ways to ensure your pension is on the right path
For anyone with a retirement pot to look after it is important to be aware of what your pension is doing.
Pensions are an unfortunately complex retirement savings product, with a myriad of reliefs and tax rules around them which govern how much you can pay in, and what you can eventually take out. For that reason, it pays to ensure you’re keeping a close enough eye on your retirement funds to maximise the benefits of the pension and prevent any issues arising later in life.
Here are some key things to think about when it comes to your pension.
Are you contributing enough?
This is important for anyone saving into a pension, but the earlier you consider how much you’re saving into a pension the better. This is because the longer you leave more money to grow in a pension, the better the eventual outcome – i.e., how big your retirement fund – will be.
Final salary or ‘defined benefit’ (DB) pensions are on the way out. These were schemes in the past where workers paid in a nominal amount, but most of the liabilities for paying an income in retirement fell on either their employer, or in many cases for public sector workers, the government.
These days a defined contribution (DC) pension is much more likely to be what you’re saving into. What makes this different from DB is you only really get out what you put in to DC pensions. Employers are obliged to contribute a minimum of 3% to your workplace pension, with minimum personal contributions set at 5%. However, if you earn over £50,270 the contributions are capped to £183.46 per month. This isn’t a hard cap – you can increase your contributions – but you will have to actively ask your employer to increase them.
In terms of what is ‘enough’ this depends on what kind of lifestyle you would expect to maintain in later life and can be quite tricky to figure out. A common rule of thumb is that you would need to be able to give yourself an income worth around two thirds of what you earn today. This typically only factors in that you might have paid off your mortgage though, accounting for one third of your outgoings.
If you are unsure what sort of level you should be saving to, it is essential to speak to an adviser who can help you ascertain important aspects of planning for that retirement income.
Are you taking the right risk?
Contributions are one thing, but if a pot isn’t growing sufficiently over the long term, then this will greatly diminish the effectiveness of pension savings over a lifetime.
Another rule of thumb here is the younger you are, the more risk you should be taking. When you start a new workplace pension your money will be put in what is called the ‘default’ fund. These kinds of funds are routinely criticised for underperforming comparative funds elsewhere, and can leave retirees with disappointment come retirement.
Conversely, as you approach your chosen retirement age, it is a good idea to start considering derisking some of your portfolio. This is to preserve the value of the pot in long-term investment markets, and also to start adjusting some of your assets to focus on paying an income – which you will need in retirement.
How can I find missing pots?
With people regularly changing jobs over the years, it can be easier than you might assume to lose track of pension funds, particularly for older pots that don’t have digital accounts and might have been drawn up with simple paperwork.
This is also compounded by the financial services industry which is routinely changing company names or going through sales and mergers. The company who had your pot 10 year ago might be different today!
Fortunately, there are good ways to go about tracking down a missing pot. The government has a pension tracing service which should be your first port of call to track down an old pension. If this doesn’t bear fruit, then speaking to your old employer, then a financial adviser, could be good next steps as they will have more access to information about where the pension might have ended up.
Is it worth consolidating pots?
If you’ve found an old pot, or you’ve got small pots from old employers which you’re not contributing to, it could be worth considering consolidation of those pots. The main reasons why consolidation is beneficial is it makes it easier to manage the money in one place, and you could find somewhere better value, or with more options for your money to save.
There are a few drawbacks to pot consolidation that you should be aware of though. The first being that some pension pots, particularly older DB pots, come with specific arrangements, rules and bonuses that could be lost if you were to transfer the money out of that pot. If this could be the case for you, it is essential you speak to an adviser before taking any action.
Secondly, small pots do have some tax benefits, which can help toward certain goals when you retire. Once you reach pensions freedom age, pensions worth under £10,000 can be taken all in one go, with 25% tax free. You can do this with an unlimited number of workplace pensions, or with up to three personal pensions.
When can you access your retirement fund?
This comes down to the pension freedoms age mentioned above. This is currently set at 55 but will increase to 57 in 2028 to coincide with the rising state pension age.
It is ever more likely these days that you might be working well beyond the age of 57. If that is the case then it could be beneficial to draw upon other sources of wealth in your 50s and leave the pension untouched as long as possible, so you can continue to enjoy generous tax relief benefits from your salary.
An adviser can help you decide the best strategy for this and everything else mentioned previously in this article. Using tools such as cashflow modelling and by structuring growing wealth carefully, you will be able to maximise the benefit of a pension and minimise some of the potential pitfalls.
The World In A Week - Bank of England Headache
Written by Chris Ayton.
It was a positive week for global equity markets with the MSCI All Country World Index rising +1.3% in Sterling terms. Global bonds collectively declined with the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index -0.3% in GBP hedged terms although credit and high yield fixed income indices ground out small gains.
UK economic data released over the week provided the Bank of England with a bit of a headache for its upcoming interest rate decision. Average pay increased 8.5% year-over-year, which was higher than expected, and will be considered quite inflationary. Although this is partly due to one-off payments to public sector workers, the data excluding such bonuses was also higher than expected. However, UK GDP data released last week was worse than expected, contracting 0.5% between June and July. The services sector was particularly weak, although notably this was impacted by strikes by NHS staff. Markets read this as a positive sign that any incremental rise in interest rates from the Bank of England this week is likely to be the last in this cycle and helped the FTSE All Share Index to a +2.9% weekly gain.
Similarly in Europe, the European Central Bank raised interest rates to an all-time high although, with growth stalling and inflation starting to fall, it also signalled that its cycle of rate increases was likely nearing an end. After a strong start to the year, growing concerns about the growth outlook in Europe has seen sentiment towards European equities start to wane and Europe ex-UK is one of the few regional equity markets to be down over the third quarter so far.
Japan was the standout performer over the week, with MSCI Japan up +3.8% in Sterling terms as both the equity market and currency strengthened. The rise came on the back of the Bank of Japan’s Governor, Kazou Ueda, signalling Japan could end its negative interest rate policy when achievement of its 2% inflation target is in sight, citing year-end as a potential point for them to have sufficient data to make this determination.

The World In A Week - Continental Slowdown
Written by Cormac Nevin.
Markets were flat last week, with the MSCI All Country World Index of global equities down -0.3% in GBP terms. What was notable was the continued underperformance of Continental European equities, which are down -1.6% in GBP for the quarter to date, compared to a +1.5% gain for global equity markets. After a strong start to the year, Europe ex-UK equity markets have given up their relative gains vs global equities and are now up only +8.0% vs 9.7%.
Economic data from the continent continues to come in weak as the diverse set of economies which constitute the Eurozone face an array of challenges. Purchasing Managers Indices (PMIs) are broadly tracked as a forward-looking measure of economic performance and these have been undershooting already low expectations across countries such as France, Germany, and Italy for both the manufacturing and services sectors of each economy. Consumer price inflation continues to come in higher than the European Central Bank’s (ECB) target of 2%, with readings of +6.4% year-on-year recorded in Germany last week.
However, a more leading measure of input inflation, the Producer Price Index (PPI) for the Eurozone, is now recording very steep declines in input prices falling -7.6% year-on-year as of last week. This is the most negative PPI reading since the global financial crisis in 2008/09 and ought to really give the ECB pause to consider whether inflation is the most pressing issue on a forward-looking basis and if interest rates are now so high that they are excessively restricting economic growth.

What is sudden wealth? How to deal with an overnight windfall
Sudden wealth is a growing issue as older generations begin to pass on significant estates to their loved ones. The phrase “sudden wealth” is likely to conjure images of winning the lottery or inheriting a large sum from a mysterious great aunt.
However, more likely than not, it pertains to people whose parents have quietly squirreled away a nest egg through property, pensions and other assets over a lifetime. The crux is when these people pass away – they may have failed to put in place an inheritance plan, or even to properly explain to beneficiaries what the contents of a portfolio are and how much they’re worth. This can create huge issues for their beneficiaries as unmitigated tax liabilities can force people to sell assets they may not be prepared to deal with.
It can create other issues such as people becoming “accidental landlords” without really knowing what they’re taking on. There can also be issues where someone suddenly finds themselves with large sums in their bank accounts but has little idea of what the most responsible thing is to do with that money.
This is what makes intergenerational financial planning absolutely critical to protect those beneficiaries from a surprise inheritance.
Intergenerational financial planning
With older generations accruing larger amounts of wealth the potential for this wealth to pass on to their children - or even grandchildren - increases the risks associated with that wealth. It is therefore critical for a family to plan together for the outcomes of inheritance. A child is going to struggle if they inherit a substantial portfolio of assets from their parent with little clue of what those assets are, how they work and how to manage them. Dealing with an overnight windfall such as this can be emotionally extremely difficult and can lead to major mistakes that unravel years of sensible management.
While basic practices such as having a will in place are key, involving children in the decision-making process of how that estate planning is managed is really important, as is ensuring they understand what the assets are and how much they’re worth. How that wealth trickles down to younger generations will impact the tax that they pay, and how to structure that wealth over the long term. It can also colour decisions you make early in retirement in regard to which assets you draw upon to fund your retirement. For instance – gifting is an effective way to mitigate inheritance tax (IHT), but if your wealth is largely bound up in property this might not be the most effective way to pass on money – particularly if it leaves you cash poor.
Ensuring your loved ones fully understand your wealth portfolio will also prevent them from making mistakes once it passes to them. An adviser can help structure the process and talk to everyone involved in order to prepare them for what is to come. Intergenerational wealth planning takes care of the wider picture and how it can affect multiple generations, their future plans and their own wealth. It is an essential process for anyone with assets to pass on.
How to deal with sudden wealth
For those who have found themselves with a sudden windfall, be it through parents who didn’t communicate their plans, a lottery win, or a mysterious wealthy relative, the most important first step is to speak to a financial adviser.
An adviser will help you to understand the potential tax implications, the best way to structure what you have received in order to set it up successfully for life and mitigate any issues with your own wealth, and how to deal with the emotional implications of such a large windfall.
The temptation might be to go on a spending splurge. While buying that car you always wanted or taking the trip of a life time isn’t necessarily bad, it is essential to ensure that you can enjoy the fruits of some of that wealth while also making it work for you and last in the long term.
What are the Mansion House pension reforms and will they affect your wealth?
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced pension reforms - dubbed the “Mansion House Reforms” - in early July.
According to the Treasury, the reforms are set to unlock an additional £75 billion in investment for high-growth British businesses by utilising the cash in the nation’s pension pots. How will this affect your pension on an individual level? This depends on how proactive you are with the management of your savings pots.
Mansion House Reforms in practice
The reforms announced by Hunt are looking to redirect money in UK pensions towards investments that might help to boost the economy. The UK has the largest pension market in Europe with around £2.5 trillion in assets. Through the reforms, the nine largest pension providers in the UK have agreed to increase investment in unlisted equities – i.e., companies not represented in the stock market – from around 1% of assets to 5%. The Government says this could potentially unlock around £50 billion in extra investment cash for fast-growing firms in the UK as a result.
Chancellor Hunt commented in the announcement: “British pensioners should benefit from British business success. By unlocking investment, we will boost retirement income by over £1,000 a year for typical earner over the course of their career.
“This also means more investment in our most promising companies, driving growth in the UK.” The reforms are backed by a wide range of businesses from JPMorgan to Octopus and the ScaleUp Institute.
How will my pension be affected?
The reforms are a potentially large shift in how investment capital in the UK, through pensions, is used. Major pension providers will look to tweak the allocations of their default investment funds to match the 5% unlisted equity threshold. However, it isn’t compulsory to have your pension pot invested in this way. The tricky thing here is your workplace pension might be one of the signatories to the scheme, and the choices beyond default fund might be limited. Members of the compact include: Aegon, Aviva, L&G, Mercer, M&G, Nest, Phoenix, Scottish Widows and Smart Pension. These default funds might not be the best place for your portfolio depending on your circumstances. It is really important to speak to an adviser to decide on the best course of action for any pension pot as this shift in investment and risk outlook can have significant implications.
Unlisted equities tend to be riskier than listed companies, which tend only to be on the stock market thanks to a proven track record. They are also less liquid which makes it harder for investment funds to sell assets if they require cash. If you are closer to retirement these kinds of investments might not be the right choice for you, especially if you are looking to protect your capital rather than going for growth.
Either way, get in touch to discuss your options.
Government weighs abolishing income tax benefit for inherited pensions
The Government could be set to scrap a valuable income tax benefit relating to the inheritance of pensions.
The tax perk allows someone under the age of 75 to bequeath an uncrystallised (i.e., still invested) defined contribution (DC) pension pot without any income tax liability when the beneficiary draws income from the pot. However, the proposal from HMRC recommends that from April, untouched pensions should no longer be exempt from income tax when inherited. This means anyone who inherits the pot would be liable to pay their marginal rate of income tax on whatever they draw down. The announcement follows a consultation around the tax treatment of inherited pensions and relates to wider reforms around the lifetime allowance (LTA).
How does this affect your wealth?
Pensions are one of the most efficient ways to plan for inheritance, thanks largely to the generous income tax benefit which could now be axed. The Government scrapped the pension LTA of £1,073,100 in April this year, making maximising pension tax benefits a much more attractive option for efficient tax and wealth planning. The removal of the LTA abolished 55% taxation on lump sums withdrawn over the LTA, plus a 25% charge on regular withdrawals. However, the Labour Party has committed to reversing the change should it win the next General Election, which is currently pencilled in for December 2024, putting pension planning in doubt.
With house price growth over the past decade, many families that would never have expected to face an IHT bill are now being dragged into the frame for it. The latest figures from HMRC suggest an extra 50,000 families will be dragged into paying inheritance tax (IHT) by 2028. This is largely thanks to the ongoing frozen IHT threshold of £325,000 which has been in place over a decade, with an extra £175,000 allowance for main residence. Combined with a partner, the total tax-free allowance can be as much as £1 million.
Plans to abolish the pension inheritance income tax benefit have been recommended for April 2024, but are not set in stone as of yet and there has been no legislation forthcoming from the government. While it is important to be aware of the potential change, by no means should it totally change a wealth plan just yet. The benefit also only impacts the pension pot of someone who dies under the age of 75. It is important to consider factors such as life expectancy, health and lifestyle as this benefit might not ultimately be that relevant.
Overall, it is key to be aware of the potential benefits and pitfalls in wealth and retirement planning, and to prepare your portfolio for the best outcome possible, no matter the inclinations of the government of the day.
If you would like to discuss the pensions inheritance issue further or anything else relating to your wealth planning, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
The World In A Week - UK resilience in August
Written by Dominic Williams.
UK GDP figures were released by the Office for National Statistics last Thursday, showing that the UK economy expanded by 0.2 per cent in August. This marks a reversal from the 0.6 per cent decline observed in July, which had been revised down from the initially reported 0.5 per cent decline. As a whole, the service sector, was the sole positive contributor to this growth, rising by 0.4 per cent in August. However, consumer-facing services experienced a decrease of 0.6 per cent, indicating that the central bank’s interest rate increases are beginning to impact consumers. Production output saw the most significant decrease, falling by 0.7 per cent, following a decline of 1.1 per cent in July 2023 (which was also revised down from the initially reported 0.7 per cent). Construction also fell by 0.5 per cent. The three-month average GDP figure for August was also released, indicating a growth rate of 0.3 per cent. This figure can be considered a more stable measure compared to the month-on-month figures. Furthermore, this data suggests that the UK is not likely to enter a recession in 2023, as defined by two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
The world’s two largest economies reported contrasting inflation figures over the past week. In the US, September’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) exceeded expectations, remaining unchanged at 3.7 per cent year-on-year. However, the core measure, which excludes food and energy, decreased from 4.3 per cent to 4.1 per cent year-on-year, the lowest reading since September 2021. The higher-than-expected headline rate might signal a potential interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve. In contrast, China reported CPI figures that remained unchanged year-on-year, falling short of the consensus expectations of a 0.2 per cent increase. The most significant drop was observed in food prices, which fell by 3.2 per cent, driven by a sharp decline in pork prices (China being the largest consumer of pork globally). These figures suggest persistent deflationary pressures and raise concerns about the strength of the economic recovery due to sluggish demand.
In other news, in Marrakesh, Morocco, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) held their annual meetings. The IMF unveiled their outlook for global economic growth, predicting a slowdown. It anticipates a decline from 3.5 per cent last year to 3 per cent this year, further decreasing to 2.9 per cent next year, marking a 0.1 per cent downgrade from their previous 2024 estimate. Global inflation is also projected to decrease from 6.9 per cent this year to 5.8 per cent next year, however this is an increase of 0.6 percentage points above their previous forecast. While central bank rate hikes are credited with some success in controlling price pressures, the IMF expects that over 90 per cent of economies with an inflation target are expected to remain above target.
