Only the part of your estate that&#8217;s above the threshold is charged.<\/p>\n<p>Inheritance Tax is typically applied to wealth inherited through generations, degrading its value for you and your loved ones over time.<\/p>\n<p>Inheritance Tax planning involves setting up proactive measures to ensure your estate is passed on to your beneficiaries in the most tax-efficient manner.<\/p>\n<p>Inheritance Tax is primarily a voluntary tax that you can legitimately mitigate. Therefore, you do not need to worry about losing 40% of your wealth when you die.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is possible with the proper professional counsel and estate planning.<\/p>\n<p>Inheritance Tax preparation is a\u00a0challenging subject to broach, especially if you have a lot of assets. Therefore, it helps to understand the law behind it and seek the best guidance possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21\" src=\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/private-client\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1823803592-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/private-client\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1823803592-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/private-client\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1823803592-1-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/private-client\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1823803592-1-768x336.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/private-client\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/07\/shutterstock_1823803592-1-200x87.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wrapper\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"inner-wrapper before-bg-color\">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"standard-content container wp-block \">\n\t\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t<h3>The inheritance tax threshold is the amount above which inheritance tax becomes payable.<\/h3>\n<p>If the estate, including any asserts held in trust and gifts made within seven years of death, is less than the threshold, no inheritance tax is due on it.<\/p>\n<p>At CTT Private Client we can help you to understand the inheritance tax plan and what it means for you.
