Inheritance tax planning

You may have thought that Inheritance tax affects those with significant wealth, however, due to house prices increasing, more people than ever could be subject to inheritance tax on death. If your assets/estate exceeds the inheritance tax threshold, on your death there would be significant inheritance tax to pay.

At Birkett Long IFA, our independent financial planning managers can help with what is a complex area.

There are a number of different ways to tackle inheritance tax mitigation and our financial planning managers work with you to achieve the most appropriate solution. Some questions you may have -

  • How can I reduce tax payable on my investments?
  • Can I transfer my assets to someone else?
  • Can I avoid paying Inheritance Tax?
  • Am I able to plan in advance to keep my assets within the family?
  • When do I have to pay Inheritance Tax?

There are various ways you can reduce your exposure to Inheritance, such as lifetime gifts, trusts, charitable donations and investment planning.

If you would like more information on Inheritance Tax planning please contact us on 01206 217309 to arrange a free, initial meeting with one of our financial planning managers.

What Our Client Say

  • I am always very impressed and comfortable with the service I receive. I will continue to recommend your firm as and when the opportunity arises. I send my grateful thanks again to both you and of course Colin. I really would be lost in the financial world without your continuing and friendly assistance. I wanted to say thank you for your can do attitude and the way you manage to make even the most monumental tasks (for me) seem to be achievable, and even are achieved, with a minimum of stress and fuss.
