INVESTMENTS that you should consider if you wish to reduce your INHERITANCE TAX liability
Few investments are available to investors who wish to reduce their inheritance tax liability, but there are a few that you should consider. As with any kind of tax planning and investing it is always wise to seek professional financial advice before proceeding with any strategy.
To encourage investment in smaller and new start business ventures, the Government encourages people to invest in these ventures by giving them exemption and protection from inheritance tax. However, the exemption is only given provided the investor holds the investment in these ventures for at least two years. They must be owned by the investor at the date of their death. These types of investment benefit from what is called –
‘Business Property Relief’
There are specialist investment firms that help people to invest in companies that benefit from Business Property Relief. This in turn helps them to reduce their inheritance tax liability.
It is very convenient and easy to take three times a day by a capsule. Disadvantages: +: it is not necessary to starve, to eat healthy food, low-calorie. Phentermine does not forgive fatty food and instantly reacts to it. That is, you will not be able to relax, grumbling bloating and even frustration will remind you that you should eat right. Obesity is a disease and a third of the planet suffers. For example, I do not scare these side effects, it’s all a normal reaction in the treatment. After all, overweight is a huge health problem. I drink Phentermine and clearly try to follow all the recommendations – about here https://toptenss.com/phentermin-weightloss/.
Before proceeding with this type of Inheritance Tax planning strategy, it is important that you are aware that investments that qualify for Business Property Relief are usually more adventurous and will therefore expose you to higher levels of risk. Understanding how much risk you can afford to take along with how much you wish to reduce your Inheritance Tax liability is very important when deciding if these types of investment are right for you.
As such it is important to fully research your options, and spread your investments so that you are not too concentrated in this area. This will help make sure that your are not overly exposed to a risky investment strategy. It is also important to ensure that your other traditional assets such as large company shares, commercial property, or corporate and government bonds are not overlooked.
Despite the risks involved, this makes Business Property Relief investments a potentially suitable Inheritance Tax planning tool for people who have estates large enough to incur a significant tax charge on death. A married couple with an estate of over £650,000 may have to pay Inheritance Tax and at the current rate of 40%. If you are in this position, this would amount to £40,000 per £100,000 of estate value in excess of the nil rate allowances of £650,000.
These types of investments would be suited to investors who are either experienced investors or have a large enough estate to need specialist Inheritance Tax planning from a financial adviser.
