1. What is inheritance tax?
2. Will I need to pay inheritance tax?
3. Is there anything I can do to plan for Inheritance Tax?
IHT is a tax which may be payable on your estate if it is valued at over £325,000. This threshold is known as the nil rate band. IHT is charged at 40% and is usually paid by the people (other than your husband, wife or civil partner) who inherit your estate after you die.
2. Will I need to pay inheritance tax?
More estates than ever are becoming liable for Inheritance Tax, especially as property values rise and allowances remain frozen. Whilst the current threshold is £325,000, many factors can determine how much you are likely to pay.
3. Is there anything I can do to plan for Inheritance Tax?
Managing your IHT liability is a large part of estate planning. The earlier you start planning and the better your plans are, the more you can minimise the impact of IHT on your finances.
