Bereaved families will not face tax bill over pension delays under new rules

Here’s a summary of the announcement:

**Bereaved Families Spared Tax Bills on Delayed Pensions Under New Rules**

Bereaved families will no longer face unexpected tax bills on inherited pension payments that have been delayed, thanks to new rules introduced to prevent unfair financial penalties.

The change comes after campaigners highlighted concerns that families were being unfairly penalized with tax liabilities due to administrative delays and processing hold-ups that were entirely outside of their control. The new regulations aim to ensure beneficiaries are not financially disadvantaged by issues beyond their fault.
