Making Your Plans Future Ready

Why is Inheritance Tax Planning Important?

Inheritance Tax is charged at 40% on the value of your estate above the tax-free threshold, which currently stands at £325,000 (or up to £500,000 if your estate includes your home and is passed to direct descendants). With rising property values and other assets, many estates can unexpectedly fall into the taxable bracket, leading to substantial tax bills. Early and effective planning can minimise your exposure and ensure your estate passes to your beneficiaries as efficiently as possible.
