INHERITANCE TAX

With the inheritance tax threshold remaining frozen at £325,000 many people will continue to find that the value of their estate takes them into the 40% tax bracket even with the recent introduction of the additional main residence nil rate band. It is therefore vitally important to review your tax position and make sure that you are structured as tax efficiently as possible as the tax savings involved can be substantial. We can advise on several areas through our lifetime planning service so that you can be sure that when you pass away your executors only pay the correct amount of inheritance tax in line with your circumstances.

YOU TALK

Reviewing your likely IHT position begins with pulling together a snapshot of everything you own and owe, examining what reliefs and exemptions might apply on your death, and working out what can be done to improve this liability.
