In the tax year 2007/2008 a total of £600,000 of assets can be left as an inheritance without any IHT tax being due. Provided the Appropriate Inheritance Tax Planning Will is in place. This type of Will results in couples having direct tax savings of up to £120,000.Request More Information about Inheritance Tax Planning Wills |
