Financial Consultants in the United Kingdom report
that more families than ever are taking advice on cutting their inheritance tax
bills as increasing numbers of families are falling in to the Inheritance Tax net.
Despite the Government announcing, earlier this year
that the thresholds of £325,000 for individuals or £650,000 for married couples
would be frozen until 2018, 73% of all clients are still not focusing on
inheritance tax planning. FDC Law’s Darrell Collins explains “Many people don’t
realise that Inheritance Tax may have to be paid when they die, or that they
can take steps to reduce the amounts paid, by taking suitable advice when they
make their will”
