How to Avoid Paying Inheritance Tax

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax on the estate of a deceased person, which includes property, money, and possessions. In the UK, the current IHT threshold is £325,000, and anything above this amount is taxed at a rate of 40%. If you are a UK resident, this tax applies to your worldwide estate, including any property or assets held abroad. However, with careful planning, it is possible to avoid or reduce your IHT liability in both the UK and your country of residence.
