How inheritance tax works

Without effective Inheritance Tax (IHT) planning, families and other beneficiaries face a 40% tax when inheriting assets above the threshold of £325,000. Through expert IHT planning, you can ensure they receive more of your money. And the sooner you start planning, the more inheritance tax you can potentially save.

 

Inheritance tax is applied to all assets above the £325,000 IHT threshold when a UK citizen leaves assets to someone other than their spouse or civil partner. Foreign nationals who own UK property or have other UK assets valued at over £325,000 are also subject to IHT. The tax does not apply if you are leaving money to a charity or amateur sports club.

How our tax accountants can help

Through Page Kirk’s expert IHT planning services, we can help to ensure your beneficiaries receive as much of your inheritance as possible by identifying tax efficiencies, reliefs and exemptions. Our experienced IHT planners can help to maximise your beneficiaries’ inheritance through a range of possible tax planning solutions, such as:

There are many other factors that we can explore to find possible tax relief, such as regular payments out of your income, small gifts, wedding gifts and some other types of gifts that can reduce the value of your estate and therefore also reduce the tax liability. If your main priority is to make sure that your family is left with as much inheritance as possible, setting up lifetime gifts or trusts can be the most suitable option.
