We Know Our Stuff
We’re a team of experienced professionals who will help you navigate the complex Inheritance Tax landscape with your future in mind. There are many ways to manage, reduce or eliminate an Inheritance Tax bill for example, such as making gifts, using other assets to provide a retirement income, taking out a life insurance policy to cover the tax bill or using tax-efficient investments to benefit from Business Relief. So, seeking professional advice is advisable.
We’ll Find and Implement Tax Savings
Currently, the rate of Inheritance Tax payable is 40% on an estate worth more than the current lifetime exemption threshold of £325,000. There are several allowances, however, such as the nil rate band which can allow you to pass on your family home without paying Inheritance Tax. We can show you if your estate qualifies and may be able to recommend changes if it does not.
We Think Ahead
As a property investor, it’s important to have tax structures that’ll benefit you and your loved ones down the line. For this reason, we’ll carefully prepare a detailed Inheritance Tax planning report to assess your current tax exposure and suggest potential planning strategies.
