Same pension. Very different tax bill.



📌 We see this all the time with retirees operating under Spanish pension law: two people can have the same pension value, but pay very different amounts of tax because the income has been structured differently.



📌 The difference can come down to where the income comes from, how it’s drawn, and how it sits alongside other assets or savings.

Three Things Every British Expat Should Understand.

Three important factors shape how UK inheritance tax may apply to British expats. Understanding them is the first step to protecting your estate.
Your Pension and your assets.

From April 2027, unused pension funds and death benefits may form part of your estate for inheritance tax purposes. This means your UK pension pot could fall within the 40% IHT band.

How UK Residency History Affects You

Anyone who has been a UK tax resident for 10 of the last 20 years generally remains within the scope of UK inheritance tax — even after moving abroad. Knowing where you stand matters.

The £325,000 Threshold Explained

The inheritance tax nil-rate band sits at £325,000 per person. As asset values rise, more estates fall above this threshold and into the 40% band — making early planning valuable.

Returning back to the UK within 5 years as an Expat?

Most people assume the gains they made while living overseas stay outside UK tax permanently. In some cases, they do not, they come back.

The temporary non-residence rules mean that capital gains, share disposals and business exits made during your time abroad can be pulled back into UK tax in the year you return, regardless of when the transaction happened.

If you are planning to return or have recently moved back, understanding this before HMRC does changes the outcome entirely.

UK IHT

How long until your estate is free of UK Inheritance Tax?

Many British Expats in Tenerife assume the answer is 'immediately' — it isn't.

Your position depends on how long you've been abroad, where your assets are held, and whether you plan to return to the UK.

✅ Under 10 years abroad — your worldwide estate may still be liable.
✅ Over 10 years abroad — full exemption may be within reach.
✅ Returning to the UK — your liability position can change sooner than you expect.
✅ Have a pension? It may form part of your taxable estate, wherever you live.

We help British Expats in Tenerife navigate the complexities and understand their IHT position — and plan accordingly.

📄⚖️ LOST YOUR ORIGINAL WILL?

Always keep a copy of your Will in a safe place. Even where the original Will is lost, an application can sometimes be made to the High Court to allow a copy Will to be admitted for probate.

But where there is no copy at all, the estate may end up being treated as an intestacy — meaning the deceased’s wishes may not be carried out.

🖊️ A simple copy could make all the difference.
📂 Store your important documents safely.

The most common IHT mistakes people make.

📌 Thinking that there is such a thing as a common law spouse when it comes to IHT. If you are not married or in a civil partnership you will not inherit each others assets tax free.

📌 Giving away too much early on and not being able to fund your retirement.

📌 Making gifts without considering risks, such as the recipient getting divorced and losing half the gift. Use pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements to protect life time gifts.

📌 Retaining benefit from a gift. For example, giving away a holiday home but continuing to use it – this would mean it would still be included in your estate for inheritance tax and could be subject to 40% tax.

UK wills part 1.

Get a proper valuation.

Valuing assets in an estate when someone dies is essential. These valuations will be used by HMRC to assess any inheritance tax due.

Valuations can also be used to calculate any capital gains tax (CGT) owed at a later date. When assets are inherited their value for CGT is reset at the market value of the owners death. It means that beneficiaries are not taxed on historical gains, only on the increase since they inherited it.

Getting the initial valuation wrong - for example on an inherited property - can lead to an unnecessary CGT bill when the property is eventually sold, because HMRC will believe that a gain has been made on the asset.
