Question 1

What is Inheritance Tax?

Accepted Answer

Inheritance Tax is a tax on the estate of a deceased person. The amount of inheritance tax payable depends on the deceased person’s assets minus their debts. It is paid by the executor of the estate before beneficiaries receive what they are entitled to as per the will or the rules of intestacy. Solicitors can help with the administration of the estate and ensure the tax is paid correctly, as well as provide advice on how to reduce inheritance tax liability.

Question 2

Who pays inheritance tax?

Accepted Answer

When someone passes away, the person handling their affairs, called the executor, pays Inheritance Tax to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) using the deceased person's money. Usually, those who inherit from the deceased don't have to pay tax on what they receive. However, if you give gifts and the total value is over £325,000, the recipients may have to pay Inheritance Tax if you pass away within seven years of giving the gift.

Question 3

Do I declare inheritance on tax return uk?

Accepted Answer

You must declare any inheritance you receive on your tax return. The amount you receive is taxable, and you may be liable for Capital Gains Tax.

Question 4

Do I pay inheritance tax on property abroad?

Accepted Answer

In the UK, taxes apply to assets worldwide. However, if you're not a permanent UK resident, the property you own in another country might not be subject to Inheritance Tax. Key considerations when dealing with overseas property in the context of inheritance tax include addressing issues like double taxation, handling liabilities and other expenses, dealing with currency conversion (sterling), and understanding forced heirship rules. Planning ahead and seeking professional advice from an inheritance tax solicitor can help navigate these complexities and minimise liabilities.

Question 5

How much does help with Inheritance Tax cost in Heathfield?

The cost for a licensed solicitor to help with Inheritance Tax is dependent on many factors including the complexity and specific requirements of the case. On average it is expected to range from £263-£350 but in some cases it could cost as much as £417.
