Using pensions as an Inheritance Tax planning vehicle
Contributions to registered pension schemes for others offer significant potential benefits for IHT planning.
Careful planning can reduce or eliminate Inheritance Tax liabilities
Start planning early in order to put financial measures in place to benefit your children later in life, and possibly even your future grandchildren.
Could you claim an Inheritance Tax refund?
If you inherited a property that you then sold for less than the property was valued upon death, you could get a refund for the difference of the Inheritance Tax.
Gifts and Inheritance Tax
If you are considering making a financial gift this festive season, are you aware of the Inheritance Tax (IHT) consequences?
Know your Inheritance Tax exemptions
Lifetime gifts are generally subject to IHT if they exceed the £325,000 nil rate band and do not qualify for either Agricultural Property Relief or Business Property Relief. However, some gifts are automatically exempt from IHT and do not require you to survive seven years for the value of the gift to fall outside your estate.
