What is inheritance tax?
Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax on the estate (property, money, and possessions) of someone who has died. In the UK, Inheritance Tax is typically charged at 40% on the value of an estate above a certain threshold, although there are many reliefs and exemptions available.
What is the benefit of Inheritance Tax planning?
Inheritance tax planning can reduce or even eliminate tax on your death and ensure a greater proportion of your wealth is passed to your beneficiaries.
