In this podcast episode, I discuss how effective estate preservation planning could save a family a potential inheritance tax bill amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Key Takeaways

  • Inheritance Tax was introduced in 1986 replacing the old Capital Transfer Tax which itself replaced Estate Duty.

  • The Government has frozen the 325k lifetime exemption allowance, which has resulted in inflation eroding this total over time.

  • Money left to spouse or to a registered civil partner will be exempt from Inheritance Tax.

  • Inheritance Tax is payable at 40% on the amount exceeding the exemption allowance threshold.
