How Do I Plan an Inheritance Tax UK? Top 5 Tips for Tax Efficiency:
1. Calculate your estate’s value:
— Start by listing all your assets, including property, investments, savings, and personal items.
Identify which assets are taxable under inheritance tax rules
— Keep an up-to-date spreadsheet showing your net worth and consult a financial adviser to ensure accuracy in estate value calculations.
2. Inheritance tax allowances:
— Each individual can pass on £325,000 tax-free, and £650,000 for couples
— Be aware of the 7-year rule, gifts made to beneficiaries more than 7 years before death are tax-free, but the tax applies on a sliding scale for those made within 7 years.
3. Keep your will updated:
— Ensure your will is clear, up-to-date, and legally valid to avoid probate delays and disputes among beneficiaries.
— Regularly review your will as financial circumstances change or significant life events occur, such as marriage, divorce, or having children.
4. Engage your beneficiaries in financial planning:
— Have open discussions with your beneficiaries, such as your spouse and children, about your estate and financial plans.
— Encourage them to understand your estate planning strategy and, if applicable, introduce them to your financial adviser.
5. Tax-efficient strategies:
— Contribute to pension pots, such as Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs), which are typically exempt from inheritance tax
— Take advantage of the annual pension contribution allowance (£60,000 currently), and consider carry-forward rules
— Gifting assets is a cost-effective and tax-efficient way to reduce your estate’s value
— Explore options like discretionary trusts and other tax-efficient vehicles to protect your estate.
