Inheritance tax
IHT at a glance
What is IHT?
Inheritance tax (IHT) is often considered to be quite a complex area of tax law. Essentially, IHT is a tax on the estate of someone who has passed away and on certain gifts made during an individual’s lifetime.
- For the 2023/24 tax year, the IHT tax free threshold is £325,000 on the total value of an individuals estate (minus any outstanding debts) and some estates may qualify for the Residence Nil Rate Band (RNRB).
-
The standard IHT rate for taxpayers is 40%
-
A reduced IHT rate of 36% can be granted in circumstances where 10% or more of the net value of your assets is left to charity
-
Reliefs & allowances can be applied to help reduce your bill, examples include the residence nil-rate band allowance and charity donations.
