Inheritance Tax Planning FAQs
What is the IHT nil-rate band?
The standard nil-rate band is £325,000 per person. The residence nil-rate band adds up to £175,000 when you leave your main home to direct descendants. Unused allowances can transfer to a surviving spouse, potentially giving a couple up to £1 million of IHT-free estate.
How can I reduce my IHT liability?
Strategies include lifetime gifts (which fall out of your estate after 7 years), using annual gift exemptions (£3,000 per year), trusts, charitable legacies (which reduce the IHT rate to 36%), Business Property Relief on qualifying business assets, and pension planning (pensions are generally outside your estate).
When should I start IHT planning?
The earlier the better, especially for lifetime giving strategies that require a 7-year survival period. However, it is never too late to review your will, check asset ownership structures, and ensure you are using available reliefs and exemptions.
