Inheritance tax (IHT) in the United Kingdom applies to the transfer of wealth after death. It can affect property, savings, investments, and other assets.
Although it applies to a smaller portion of estates, those crossing certain value limits may face a 40% tax charge on amounts above available allowances. Thresholds have been frozen for several years, so rising asset prices can bring more families into scope.
We have put together a guide that reviews the 2025/26 allowances, rates, and reliefs and outlines legal provisions under HMRC regulations. It offers factual, compliance-based guidance for individuals and families who wish to manage their affairs effectively and provides strategies for minimising IHT liabilities.
