Tax Efficiently Pass on your Family Home

New inheritance tax rules for passing on the family home started on 6 April 2017. This additional relief should be taken into consideration when drafting your Will and we can work with your solicitor to make sure your Will is tax efficient.

From 6 April 2017, an additional nil rate band of up to £175,000 is available on death where your residence is left to direct descendants. This is in addition to the normal £325,000 nil rate band.

This additional relief is however restricted If your assets exceed £2 million. The rules are fairly complicated but we can review your personal circumstances to ensure that you take advantage of all the relief that you are entitled to.
This additional inheritance tax relief is available even when you downsize to a smaller property.

For example, if you are a married couple currently live in a large house worth £500,000 and downsize to a flat worth £250,000 you could give away some of the proceeds during your lifetime and still benefit from inheritance tax relief based on the higher valued property. You could even sell up completely and move into a rental property and still get the inheritance tax relief.

If you need assistance to tax-efficiently pass on your family home please contact us on 01295 477 250 alternatively you can email hello@progresswithassureuk.com.
