You have built up an estate over a lifetime despite having had to pay Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and other forms of tax along the way. Before you can pass this wealth on to your heirs, you face a final tax bill – Inheritance Tax (IHT).

It may seem unfair that you, or rather your family, are then taxed again on those accumulated assets on death. Nevertheless, this “double” taxation exists and dates back to the introduction at the end of the last century to what might generically be called death duties. Currently, the tax applies to all estates over £325,000 in value, from 6 April 2010, and is levied at 40%.

IHT can have disastrous consequences for families and lead to a very substantial part of a person’s estate being paid to HM Revenue and Customs.

We believe there is considerable scope for mitigating the potential IHT charge. Specialist advice and sensible tax planning can reduce, if not eliminate, the tax burden and lessen the difficulties the liability might otherwise cause.

If you are an individual looking to make Inheritance Tax savings and are even a little unsure about whether you have taken every step to preserve your family’s wealth, then our free seminar may be for you.  Our experts, including Peter Legg, acknowledged as one of the leading inheritance tax planning practitioners in the UK will discuss how you can create a comprehensive tax planning regime that could benefit both you and your family, they will also look at trust planning, IHT Planning and wealth management.
