Inheritance-Tax

Inheritance Tax is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who’s died.

There’s normally no Inheritance Tax to pay if either:

  • the value of your estate is below the £325,000 threshold

  • you leave everything above the £325,000 threshold to your spouse, civil partner, a charity or a community amateur sports club

The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40%. It’s only charged on the part of your estate that’s above the threshold.
