Planning ahead can significantly reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax (IHT) your loved ones may need to pay
There are lots of options available to you and your family, including making gifts during your lifetime, using your annual gift allowance, leaving money to charity, and ensuring your will is up to date and tax-efficient. More tax-efficient investments can potentially be considered, as well as placing certain assets or investments into Trust.
Keep in mind there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to managing this complex area of financial planning. What works best for you will depend on your unique circumstances, values, and goals. Every family’s situation is different, so it is wise to seek professional advice to create a tailored plan that ensures your wealth is passed on as tax-efficiently as possible.
