Reduce Inheritance Tax
Nobody wants inheritance tax to eat into the money they hope to leave for their loved ones. However, without the right financial planning it’s all too easy for this to happen.
If your estate is worth more than £325,000, anything above that will be taxed at 40%, which can significantly reduce what ends up in your family’s hands.
A financial adviser can help you plan ahead to protect your wealth and make the most of what you leave behind. We can help you:
Gift assets wisely to lower the taxable value of your estate
Set up trusts to safeguard wealth for future generations
Use exemptions and allowances so you don’t pay more than you need to
Arrange investments and pensions in a tax-efficient way
Quick answers

-
Yes, but there are rules. Gifts made more than 7 years before death are usually exempt.

The earlier, the better. Planning ahead gives you more options to reduce tax and ensure your money goes to the people you care about.
