Frequently asked questions

What is the current inheritance tax threshold?

The nil-rate band is £325,000 per person. The residence nil-rate band adds up to £175,000 when passing a home to direct descendants.

Can I give money away to reduce IHT?

Yes. Gifts made more than 7 years before death are usually exempt. There are also annual exemptions and other allowances available.

Is my family home subject to inheritance tax?

Potentially yes, unless it passes to your spouse or is covered by the residence nil-rate band. We can advise on protection strategies.

How much could I save with IHT planning?

Savings vary but can be substantial. Many clients save tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds through proper planning.
