Inheritance Tax – another record smashed

ANOTHER RECORD
The latest data on tax receipts from HMRC shows that Inheritance Tax (IHT) receipts for April 2023 to December 2023 of £5.7 billion were £0.4 billion higher than in the same period a year earlier.

The 7.5% increase means the Treasury is on course to take record receipts of about £7.6 billion from IHT in the 2023/24 tax year, after surging to an all-time high of £7.1bn in 2022/23 – a £1 billion increase on 2021/22. This all results in more and more families are having to pay IHT.

Higher receipts since March 2022 are due to a combination of higher volumes of wealth transfers following recent IHT-liable deaths, recent rises in asset values, and the UK government’s decision to maintain IHT tax free thresholds at their 2020 to 2021 levels, up to and including 2027 to 2028.

A proven, effective and straightforward tax planning method to help mitigate Inheritance Tax is by investing in the shares of qualifying companies listed on AIM, which benefit from Business Relief (‘BR’). What this means is if you buy and hold shares in such companies, you could potentially pass on those shares IHT free provided that:

• the shares are held for at least two years and are still held on death
• the company still qualifies for BR at the time of the investor’s death

You could buy as few or as many shares as you wish. There is no upper limit or allowance. Provided the above conditions are met, the whole value of the investment – be it £10,000 or £10 million – should attract 100% IHT relief.

HMRC today announced another record Inheritance Tax haul

HMRC today announced Inheritance Tax (IHT) receipts are £300 million higher than the same period a year earlier, totaling £3.2 billion.

With the government freezing IHT thresholds until at least April 2028, this trend looks set to continue.

Commenting on the HMRC figures, Fundamental Asset Management’s Chris Boxall said: “HMRC has once again announced a record increase in Inheritance Tax receipts. With few other solutions available, investing in Business Relief qualifying companies remains popular with advisers and investors to mitigate future Inheritance Tax. If shares in these companies are held for two years, and still held upon death, no Inheritance Tax is paid on the investment.

Many AIM companies meet the Inheritance Tax qualifying criteria and with the AIM market down substantially over the past 2 years and the valuations of many good quality AIM companies looking extremely attractive, it could be great time to invest and save future Inheritance Tax.”
