Q.What is Inheritance Tax?
A. Inheritance Tax becomes payable on assets held within an individual’s estate in the event of their death, above the government stated Inheritance Tax threshold, currently £312,000. All assets above this threshold are liable for tax at 40%. The tax is payable by the beneficiaries of the will.
With a large percentage of family homes being valued in today’s market at over £300,000, the need for Inheritance Tax Planning is becoming more apparent.
