Inheritance Tax – The basics
On death, Inheritance Tax (“IHT”) is payable on assets such as property, cash, investments and personal possessions, in an estate over the value of £325,000. Any assets above this threshold will be taxed at the present rate of 40%. An additional tax-free allowance of £175,000 can be also claimed where a family home is left
