Understanding Inheritance Tax
Inheritance tax is a tax on the estate of a deceased person. It is applied to the total value of the estate, including property, money, and possessions. If the value of the estate exceeds a certain threshold, inheritance tax may be payable. Proper planning can help mitigate the impact of this tax on your estate.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should you start planning for Inheritance Tax?
Begin planning as early as possible. Many tax reliefs require measures to be in place for at least two years before they take effect, so starting sooner maximises your options.
What does Inheritance Tax planning involve?
It involves assessing your potential IHT liability, evaluating your assets, reviewing past gifts, and aligning your estate plans with your will to reduce tax liabilities.
Strategies for reducing Inheritance Tax
- Utilise tax-free allowances, such as the annual gift allowance.
- Make lifetime gifts to loved ones.
- Claim reliefs like business property relief.
- Consider charitable donations to reduce your taxable estate.
Should trusts be part of your Inheritance Tax planning?
Yes, trusts can effectively protect assets and manage tax liabilities, though legal documents will need to be drafted with a solicitor.
How can a trust help in minimising Inheritance Tax liability?
A trust can keep assets out of your estate for IHT purposes, reducing the overall tax burden for your beneficiaries.
What types of trusts are available for Inheritance Tax planning?
Types include discretionary trusts, bare trusts, and life interest trusts. Each serves different purposes and has varying tax implications, so understanding which is suitable for your situation is crucial.
