  1. Pensions drawdown underpin January 2014

  2. Consistent approach to planning • Consider you have a client with a large fund subject to IHT at 40%* • Would you use a Whole of Life plan to cover the charge? • Now assume you have a client with a very large pension fund, and for all the right reasons you recommend pensions drawdown. • In the future, the member (and their spouse) will die, then the fund in drawdown will be subject to tax at the 55% recovery charge • Do you protect that charge? *if death estate (including any assets held in trust and substantial gifts made within seven years of death) is over the threshold, IHT will be due at 40%. As from 6 April 2012, people who leave 10% or more of their net estate to charity can choose a reduced rate of IHT at 36%.
