Taxes are coming
It has long been argued that inheritance tax (IHT) is one of the easiest taxes to avoid: there is a nil- rate band of £325,000 for each person, making it £650,000 for a married couple.
In addition, an exemption of £175,000 for property owners is coming into place in the next few years.
But aside for making the most of the nil-rate band, there are numerous ways to mitigate IHT. For example, widowed spouses can carry forward their deceased partner’s unused nil-rate band. Then there are the more adventurous investment products that can limit the effects of IHT on one’s estate, in exchange for investing in a young company.
But IHT has become a political football in recent years. The problem is that, historically, it was a tax that applied solely to wealthy people. However, as property prices have increased, more and more people have started to fall outside the nil rate band.
