Inheritance Tax & Capital Gains Tax

Inheritance Tax is the tax that is paid on the things you leave behind when you die - your “Estate”. The current threshold is £312,000 which, given current house prices, isn’t a lot.

Capital Gains Tax is what you may need to pay when you sell an asset while you’re alive, if it has increased in value – or what may need to be paid after your death if an asset’s value increases between your death and its sale.

You want to give the Taxman as little as possible and the Taxman wants to take as much as he can. The answer? Careful tax planning. Which is why you need to speak to Burnett Barker Solicitors.
