Frequently Asked Questions
About Inheritance Tax.
What is Inheritance Tax and how much would my family pay?
Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax on the value of your estate when you die. Your family may pay IHT if the value of your estate exceeds the available allowances — typically 40% on anything above the thresholds. With planning, this bill can often be reduced significantly or avoided altogether
How do I know if my estate will be liable for IHT?
We calculate your total estate, including property, savings, pensions, investments and life policies. Using forecasting, we show whether your family may face a tax bill and how that changes over time.
What allowances and exemptions can I use to reduce IHT?
You may benefit from the Nil Rate Band, the Residence Nil Rate Band, annual gifting exemptions, charity exemptions and more. We explain these in plain English and help you use them effectively.
Can gifting help reduce the amount of tax my family pays?
Trusts can help control how wealth is passed on while reducing IHT, but they must be set up carefully. We explain the pros, cons and ongoing responsibilities, and only recommend a trust if it genuinely benefits your plan.
What about my business — are there tax reliefs available?
Yes. Many business owners qualify for Business Relief or Agricultural Relief, which can reduce or eliminate IHT on certain assets. We assess whether your business or investment holdings qualify and how to protect this relief.
Can I reduce IHT without putting my own financial security at risk?
Absolutely. Every recommendation starts with your lifestyle financial plan. We model different scenarios to ensure you can maintain your standard of living before passing anything on. Your financial security always comes first.
How do trusts work and are they right for me?
Trusts can help control how wealth is passed on while reducing IHT, but they must be set up carefully. We explain the pros, cons and ongoing responsibilities, and only recommend a trust if it genuinely benefits your plan.
