A QNUPS (or Qualifying None UK Pension Scheme) Trust is a statutory form of discretionary trust defined by s271A IHTA 1984.

A QNUPS Trust allows an individual to establish a tax efficient structure to provide long term retirement income and benefits for themselves.

A QNUPS Trust has no contribution limits nor investment restrictions for and can, for example, invest in assets such as residential property.

They can therefore be suitable for individuals who wish to make plans for their income in retirement but who also wish to have more flexibility in their investment strategy.
