Details

The laws affecting the inheritance tax on wills, trusts and estates are complex and full of pitfalls for the unwary. The Inheritance Tax Planning Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the planning opportunities available to mitigate the inheritance tax that estates and trusts must pay. It provides a handy reference to the exemptions, reliefs and allowances that are available, explores the variety of different trust regimes as well as the complex rules of nil rate bands and the planning issues around residence nil rate bands. Special circumstances are also explored, including agricultural and business property relief, financial planning and IHT, entrepreneurs’ relief and heritage property relief.
