Equity Release and Inheritance Tax
|
Equity Release and Inheritance Tax PlanningEquity Release plans can also be a way of cutting Inheritance Tax bills. Inheritance Tax is levied at 40% on everything left behind over £325,000 (2010/2011 and up to 2015).
Importantly, that figure includes the value of your home, although now any allowance unused by a deceased spouse can be utilised by the surviving spouse.
Equity release plans are a perfectly legal way of mitigating Inheritance Tax. They could be used, for example, to give a child or grandchild the deposit to buy their own property. Used in conjunction with a Discounted Gift Trust they can achieve great tax savings.
We are qualified to advise in these areas in conjunction with your own legal adviser, or can recommend one to you
Even at just 5% per annum increase in house and asset prices, a couple with an estate of £550,000 (who today are well below the combined nil rate band of £650,000) would suffer £46,821 in Inheritance Tax in 2015 just because the nil rate band has been frozen
