UK may have wasted £1.6 billion on Inheritance Tax

Research by IFA Promotion, the organisation promoting the benefits of independent financial advice, shows that UK adults may have wasted a massive £1.6 billion through poor inheritance tax planning last year.
David Elms, Chief Executive of IFA Promotion, commented, “People need to be aware that the IHT threshold has failed to rise in line with soaring property prices over the last few years and that you don’t have to be rich to be subject to inheritance tax. It’s vital that people seek out advice from an independent financial adviser, so they can make informed decisions when it comes to IHT planning and avoid wasting their precious inheritance unnecessarily.”
