IHT (Inheritance Tax) Mitigation
What is Inheritance Tax (IHT)?
Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax imposed on the estate (property, money, and possessions) of a deceased person in the UK. It is crucial to understand IHT and its implications to effectively plan and mitigate its impact on your estate.
Understanding IHT Mitigation
IHT Mitigation refers to the strategic planning and implementation of legal methods to reduce or eliminate the potential Inheritance Tax liabilities on your estate. By taking proactive steps, you can protect your wealth and ensure more passes to your chosen beneficiaries.
Importance of IHT Planning
IHT planning is essential to safeguard your assets and preserve your wealth for future generations. By undertaking effective IHT planning, you can minimise the amount of tax payable on your estate, leaving a more significant legacy for your loved ones.
Common IHT Mitigation Strategies
There are various strategies available for IHT mitigation, including:
- Lifetime Gifting: Transferring assets or money during your lifetime to reduce the value of your estate subject to IHT.
- Trusts: Setting up trusts to hold assets and distribute them according to your wishes, potentially reducing IHT liabilities.
- Business Relief: Utilising Business Relief schemes to lower or eliminate the IHT payable on qualifying business assets.
- Agricultural Relief: Taking advantage of Agricultural Relief for eligible agricultural property to reduce IHT liabilities.
