What is IHT?

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is affecting more and more of us, and with house prices on the rise, it is not just the super-rich.

"So does it affect me?"

Well, yes, if your estate is worth more than £312,000
(2008/2009 tax year).

Amongst other things, this can include:

  • Your property.
  • Your car.
  • Your savings.
  • Your furniture.
  • Gifts you make before you die.


"OK, what happens then?"

Everything in your estate above £312,000 is taxed at a rate of up to 40%. That’s £400 of every £1,000 you leave behind for your loved ones that goes to the Taxman. And that’s exactly why Bradford & Bingley, together with Legal & General want to offer you expert advice.
