1. What is Inheritance Tax? Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax on the estate (property, money, and possessions) of someone who has passed away. It applies if the estate exceeds a certain threshold.
2. Thresholds and Rates The standard threshold is £325,000. Estates above this are taxed at 40%. Various reliefs and exemptions can reduce the taxable amount.
3. Nil-Rate Band The nil-rate band of £325,000 is transferable to a spouse or civil partner, potentially increasing the threshold to £650,000.
4. Residence Nil-Rate Band An additional allowance of up to £175,000 applies if the home is passed to direct descendants, allowing married couples or civil partners to pass on up to £1 million tax-free.
5. Exemptions Gifts to a spouse, civil partner, or charity are exempt from IHT. Certain business and agricultural properties may also qualify for relief.
