IHT Planning and Financial Products
What is it?
Inheritance Tax planning is about arranging your estate in such a way that you can reduce your exposure to it.
But rarely can you do this without reducing your autonomy over an asset or without additional levels of bureaucracy. There is no magic method that allows you retain the simplicity of you owning an asset absolutely whilst also reducing your exposure. The anti-avoidance rules are vast.
It’s crucial any planning is done carefully, and you are aware of the consequences. Planning can be expensive but the long-term benefits for you, your family, and even the wider economy can be incredibly beneficial.
Why is it important?
Retaining a greater portion of the family wealth can have resounding benefits for successive generations giving them opportunities that would’ve otherwise been unavailable and mitigating the impact of rises in the cost of living.
