Inheritance Tax (IHT) was originally introduced to ensure that the assets of the most affluent families were re-distributed to fund the state.

Estate planning

Inheritance Tax (IHT) was originally introduced to ensure that the assets of the most affluent families were re-distributed to fund the state.

However, following the growth of property values over the past 30 years, combined with a fixing of the nil rate band, more and more families are finding themselves subject to IHT.

For families that will have assets subject to IHT, it is important to consider planning to ensure that the maximum amount of wealth can be passed down to their successors and beneficiaries. This can be achieved through:

  • Lifetime gifts
  • Transfers into trust
  • Investment into tax-advantaged investments
  • Restructuring into more efficient structures
  • Tax-efficient will drafting
  • Drafting wills that achieve Tax-efficiency

It is vital to ensure that IHT planning is put into place in good time as many of the available reliefs and structures can take between two and seven years to be effective.

Consilio Consulting have an inhouse Chartered Tax Adviser who can provide a detailed plan to ensure you can pass on your assets to future generations tax-efficiently.

Case Study

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate taxation and trust advice

The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount invested.

Accessing pension benefits early may impact on levels of retirement income and your entitlement to certain means tested benefits.

Accessing pension benefits is not suitable for everyone. You should seek advice to understand your options at retirement.
