Inheritance Tax Planning
Truth. Simplicity. Transparency.

Wide scale home ownership and rising property values have meant that more and more ordinary people are being subjected to inheritance tax every year.
We see this tax as avoidable in many instances – it’s just that clients are not aware of the lawful actions you can take to do so.
For UK domiciled clients, Inheritance tax (IHT) is currently charged at 40%, and is payable on your estate once your net assets exceed £325,000. In 2017-18, 3.9% of UK deaths resulted in an Inheritance Tax (IHT) charge (gov.uk).
You need to understand the value of your estate.
Research by unbiased.co.uk showed that UK taxpayers wasted a massive £595 million in unnecessary IHT payments in 2016* (*pub. Jan 2017).
