What is inheritance tax?

 

Inheritance Tax is a tax on the value of your estate after you die. Your estate includes everything from property, such as homes, cars and jewellery, to investments and savings. If the value is over the nil rate band threshold, any amount above that threshold could be subject to 40% tax. This tax must be paid before any of your estate is passed on to your loved ones.
