Inheritance Tax Planning
"Nothing in this life be certain save death and taxes"
Inheritance Tax is levied on an Estate at the rate of 40% apart from the Nil Rate Band currently £312,000 in 2008/09 or up to £624,000 if there is an unused proportion of an allowance from a deceased spouse’s/civil partners Nil Rate Band.
There are many steps that can be taken to ensure Inheritance Tax is minimised. These include:
- Careful construction of a Will
- Use of Trusts
- Use of IHT Exemptions
- Use of Potentially Exempt Transfers
We can provide independent advice to tailor a solution to an Inheritance Tax problem.
