Jason Pearce, Head of Technical Sales, Hong Kong & North East Asia, Quilter International
Every day in the UK, on average £220 million of cash and assets are inherited1. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecast that in the current year HMRC will collect £5.3 billion2 in Inheritance Tax (IHT).
IHT has been around, in various forms, since the 17th century. It is one of the most complicated and unpopular taxes; there were no changes announced to IHT in the 2020 Budget.
IHT applies to all UK-based assets, including real estate, regardless of the nationality or residence of the owner. UK-domiciled people pay IHT on their worldwide assets. UK domiciles who have spent many years outside the UK sometimes think that they have lost their domicile, but this is much trickier than is often thought, and is easily regained.
The good news is that if planning is started early enough, there are many legal ways of reducing an IHT bill. In this seminar we will explain how domicile works (including how it can be changed), and the tried and tested methods of mitigating IHT liability.
Details on how to join this webinar will be sent via email 2 hours before the webinar start time.
