What is inheritance tax?
Inheritance tax (IHT) is the tax paid to the government by an individual who has been left with money, property, or assets from someone who has died or has been given as a gift in their lifetime.
What is the inheritance tax threshold?
Currently, on your death, if your estate exceeds £325,000 in value, your estate may pay tax at 40% on the amount over and above this threshold. If the whole or part of your estate passes to UK charities, or to a spouse, or civil partner further exemptions may apply. Reliefs are also available when you hold agricultural or business property.
