--- INHERITANCE TAX -------------------
After certain deductions such as debts
and funeral costs, tax is charged at
40% on any estate worth more than £150k
which is not passed on to the spouse.
Tax can be payable on some gifts if
they were made up to seven years before
death. However some escape taxation:
■ Gifts of up to £250 per year
■ Wedding gifts by parents up to £5,000
■ There is an annual £3,000 exemption
Estates under £150k are not taxed.
