Inheritance Tax Planning

Inheritance tax (IHT) is currently payable where a person’s taxable estate is greater than £350,000. Therefore, if you own your own house and have various investments and savings, life assurance policies or other assets (including privately owned shares), your estate could be liable to IHT.

A tax planning strategy may involve revising Wills, or the use of trusts, or the use of tax efficient investment products, where appropriate, to mitigate inheritance tax.

At Scannell & Associates we seek to help you plan to minimise future liabilities and can assist with:

  • Drawing up and reviewing your Will
  • Making full use of exemptions and lower tax rates on lifetime transfers
  • Optimising lifetime transfers between spouses
  • Transferring agricultural or business property
  • Transferring assets into trust
  • Arranging adequate life assurance to cover potential inheritance tax liabilities
