How To Reduce Your Inheritance Tax Liability and

Increase Your Beneficiaries’ Inheritance

 

There are a range of exemptions and allowances that can reduce or eradicate this tax.  With careful preplanning it is possible to eradicate the potential tax liability altogether. The use of discretionary trusts in wills to help towards this  has reduced following changes in legislation in 2007.

 

We discuss the ways to reduce inheritance tax in our home-visit will-writing service, or our online wills-with-callback service. We explain the interaction of ‘cause and effect’ showing how by doing one activity that say reduces inheritance tax you can create another (say capital gain tax liability).

 

It is worth stating that business owners have two very valuable reliefs - Business Property Relief and Agricultural Property Relief - that are easily wasted unless care is exercised ... especially when drafting a business owners will. Again, we will discuss these reliefs with you when you book our afore mentioned services.

What is Inheritance Tax?

Inheritance tax is a tax applied to the estates of deceased persons.

 

Presently we have in the UK a zero rate applying to the first £325,000 (Tax year 2009-10) - referred to as the Nil-Rate-Band (NRB) threshold - so you can give away that amount of value without incurring the tax.
