Inheritance Tax Essentials for 2025/26
Inheritance tax (IHT) in the United Kingdom applies to the transfer of wealth after death. It can affect property, savings, investments, and other assets. Although it applies to a smaller portion of estates, those crossing certain value limits may face a 40% tax charge on amounts above available allowances. Thresholds have been frozen for several years, so rising asset prices can bring more families into scope.

At our practice, we believe that understanding the rules around gift-giving is key to making informed decisions. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essentials of tax-efficient gift-giving for the 2024/25 tax year. This blog explores all you need to know.
