Inheritance Tax

We understand that leaving a lasting legacy for your loved ones is a priority. We aim to empower you with the knowledge and strategies to effectively manage your estate and minimise the impact of inheritance tax.

Inheritance Tax is a tax levied on the value of a person’s estate after they pass away. This includes their property, possessions, money, and investments. While it’s natural to want to pass on your wealth to your family, inheritance tax can significantly reduce the amount they receive if not carefully managed.

Without proper planning, your beneficiaries could be left with a substantial inheritance tax bill, potentially affecting their financial security and the legacy you hoped to leave behind. Inheritance Tax Planning is about taking proactive steps to legally minimise the tax burden on your estate, ensuring your loved ones receive the maximum benefit from your assets.

Gifting assets during your lifetime can help reduce the overall value of your estate subject to inheritance tax. Certain gifts are immediately exempt, while others may become exempt over time.

Crafting a well-structured will is essential for efficient inheritance tax planning. This allows you to allocate your assets in a way that optimises tax exemptions and reliefs.

Trusts can be powerful tools for managing your estate and providing for specific beneficiaries while minimising inheritance tax liabilities.

There are various exemptions and reliefs available, such as the Nil Rate Band and Residence Nil Rate Band, that can significantly reduce or eliminate your inheritance tax liability.

If you own business or agricultural property, these reliefs can provide substantial tax benefits when passing on these assets.
