Inheritance Tax Exemptions
The inheritance tax law in the UK is very complex, and it pays to consult with a properly qualified financial adviser and/or a solicitor before taking any action.
However, the following inheritance tax exemptions mean that tax can be completely avoided in many cases.
Any transfers between UK domiciled spouses (otherwise up to £55,000);
Transfers to UK Charities and political parties;
Small gifts of up to £250 per tax year. You may give £250 to as many people as you like each tax year;
The first £3000 of any other gifts per tax year (or £6000 if no gifts were made in the previous tax year);
Certain gifts on consideration of marriage;
Gifts out of taxed income - this has already had tax paid on it. However, you must justify that you can maintain your current standard of living;
The use of these inheritance tax exemptions can reduce greatly the amount of tax that will be paid.
