Inheritance Tax on Property: A Guide

In short: Inheritance Tax is charged at 40% on estates above the tax-free thresholds. Everyone has a £325,000 nil-rate band, plus a £175,000 residence nil-rate band when a home passes to children or grandchildren, though this tapers away for estates over £2 million. Unused allowances can pass to a surviving spouse or civil partner, so a couple may leave up to £1 million tax-free. Thresholds are frozen until 2030, so rising London prices bring more families into IHT. Gifts are usually outside the estate after seven years, but if you keep living in a gifted home rent-free, it isn't. Take specialist advice.
