Original news Mr R (CAS-54306-K6B1) – 26 October 2024. Summary The Pensions Ombudsman dismissed a complaint concerning a scheme’s delay in crystallising pension benefits during a transfer, which the member argued caused higher-rate tax on future withdrawals and used more of his lifetime allowance than would otherwise have been necessary. Although the delay was held to be maladministration, responsibility for tax liabilities arising from subsequent crystallisation events did not fall on either the transferring or the receiving scheme. In addition, any loss he said he suffered was offset by growth in his fund over the period, which produced a larger tax-free lump sum and, in total, a lower tax bill. This decision is a reminder that a professional will not be accountable for every loss flowing from a breach of duty... What were the facts? ...

This Practice Note outlines the key rules for taxing income, capital gains, lifetime gifts and estates on death (inheritance tax), together with stamp duty land tax, on the basis of an individual who is UK-resident and domiciled. As tax legislation is frequently amended, this note is not, and must not be, treated as a replacement for specific professional advice where required. Income tax Individuals are charged to income tax on their overall income, with distinct regimes applying to different income streams and to qualifying outgoings that can be set against that income. The main categories of income include: pay from employment, or profits from a trade, profession or vocation (on which national insurance contributions are also due) rents from furnished or unfurnished property or land interest and dividend receipts overseas income (which may already have suffered foreign tax) A personal allowance is deducted from an individual’s total income before calculating the tax, provided their annual income (after deductions for...

Taxation regime What factors determine tax liability in your jurisdiction (eg domicile, residence or citizenship)? Türkiye’s tax landscape is intricate, operating through numerous laws, regulations, communiqués and subsequent amendments. The key legislative instruments include: Tax Procedure Law No. 213 (10 January 1961) Corporate Tax Law No. 5520 (21 June 2006) Value Added Tax Law No. 3065 (2 November 1984) Stamp Tax Law No. 488 (11 July 1964) Income Tax Law No. 193 (6 January 1961) Broadly, the Turkish Tax System is considered under three headings: (i) income taxes, such as individual income tax and corporate income tax; (ii) taxes on expenditure, including Value Added Tax (VAT), the Banking and Insurance Transactions Tax and Stamp Tax; and (iii) taxes on wealth, for example Property Tax and Inheritance and Gift Tax. For natural persons, residency, ownership of property and citizenship are key in determining which taxes apply in Türkiye. An individual’s tax burden is mainly linked to their earnings,...

From an IHT standpoint, the overarching purpose of lifetime planning is to arrange an individual’s assets during life so the eventual IHT burden on death is minimised. This can be done in several ways, including putting money into a range of tax-efficient holdings and identifying, securing and augmenting IHT exemptions available and valuable reliefs. A central element of lifetime IHT planning is both gifting during life to significantly shrink the overall estate that will be owned on death, and this Practice Note focuses on that theme. Lifetime IHT planning may equally entail creating or reviewing a person’s Will. Where a strategy blends lifetime transfers with Will structuring, the two strands should not be viewed separately. It is vital to consider the provisions of any Will when lifetime gifts are contemplated, and the converse applies. Even if a client chooses not to undertake any lifetime gifting, they should at the very least think about making a Will. Likewise, getting the order of priorities right is key. Before starting any lifetime gifting,...

What is inheritance tax? Inheritance tax (IHT) is, in general, a levy arising on an individual’s death, calculated by reference to the worth of that person’s net estate at the point just before death. The net estate is the aggregate worth of assets held by that individual, less the total of their borrowings and other obligations. To deter individuals from sidestepping the charge by making substantial transfers shortly prior to death, the regime also covers gifts made in the seven years preceding death. Certain further transfers and events that are not tied to an individual’s death may likewise be within the scope of IHT. When is IHT payable? ...

This note offers general guidance on setting up a lifetime discretionary trust. It does not explore the tax implications in any depth. Your specialist Private Client practitioner will be able to deliver tailored advice based on the circumstances of your case. What is a trust? A trust arises when assets are transferred to trustees (who might be individuals or a trust corporation) to hold and manage for the benefit of specified individuals, called the beneficiaries. The parties are: the settlor — the person who transfers the assets to the trustees the trustees — the persons (or a trust company) who receive the assets from the settlor and must look after the trust assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries the beneficiaries — the persons who enjoy the benefit of the trust There are different types of trusts. Three main types of trusts are: bare trusts — typically used to hold assets for minors until they reach...

No statute sets out what counts as a non-matrimonial asset, yet case law has long examined and refined the line between these items and property included within the marital acquest during divorce proceedings. An interest a spouse obtains during the marriage in a parent’s home can be treated as comparable to an inheritance and, for the purposes of classification in financial remedy claims and outcomes, viewed as non-matrimonial. Such an interest might indeed effectively amount to a lifetime gift or a pre-death inheritance...

If an individual does not exhaust their inheritance tax nil rate band (NRB) on death—perhaps because a large share of the estate passes to a surviving spouse or civil partner—the Inheritance Tax Act 1984, sections 8A to 8C, sets out provisions allowing the unused NRB, wholly or partly, to be transferred and applied to increase the survivor’s NRB when that person dies. The mechanism preserves a proportion of the first estate’s NRB, which can then uplift the allowance available to the surviving spouse or civil partner on their death. The uplift is determined by a statutory calculation in IHTA 1984, section 8A(3) and (4)...
