A Family's Guide to Understanding and Managing Inheritance Tax

Inheritance tax (IHT) is charged on an estate when someone dies, with a tax-free threshold of Β£325,000 that can increase to Β£500,000 if a home is left to direct descendants. The tax rate is 40% on amounts over the threshold. It's typically paid by the estate's executor within six months. Families can reduce IHT liabilities through careful planning, such as lifetime gifts or setting up trusts, and seeking professional advice. Exemptions and reliefs may also lower the tax due.
