Lifetime Transfers
In the last in his series on estate planning Tony explains the use of Lifetime Transfers to decrease the eventual tax liability left to your inheritors by giving away funds before your passing. However, there are still liabilities payable depending on when you pass.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Inheritance tax exemptions can be achieved by means of making certain exempt transfers which apply in a number of cases, including wedding gifts, life insurance premiums, gifts to your family and charitable giving. If appropriate, you can transfer some of your assets while you're alive.
- Gifts to a spouse, for example, are fully exempt so are not subject to inheritance tax. Where a potentially exempt transfer fails to satisfy the conditions to remain exempt, because the person who made the gift died within seven years, it's value will form part of their estate.
- For survival for between three and seven years, taper relief at the following rates are available ; in the first three years, there is no reduction, and between three and four years, there's a 20% reduction. Within four to five years it's 40% and five to six years its 60%. Between six and seven years is 80%.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Potentially exempt transfers are lifetime gifts made to a individuals which includes gifts to bare trusts.'
‘The inheritance tax due on the potentially exempt transfers is deducted from the total inheritance tax bill and the estate is liable for the balance.'
‘The inheritance tax difference can be calculated and covered by a level or decreasing policy written in an appropriate trust.'
