All You Need To Know About Inheritance Tax And How To Minimise or Eliminate It

WARNING: Inheritance tax can seriously damage your wealth

Did you know:

• More of us than ever before are liable to give up almost half (40%) of our estate to the tax man when we die?
• Over £250,000 is paid each week in unnecessary taxes?
• Your home is at risk? Even if you give your home away before death, you can still end up giving almost half of your estate to the tax man.
• The Government pulls in a staggering £3 billion a year from Inheritance Tax?

All very shocking, but equally true. Even after an entire lifetime of paying taxes on all that you earn, you can be taxed all over again - just for dying!

Unfortunately, thousands of us are still making poor decisions when planning our estates, because we leave things too late, or simply cannot source the information we need. Others just run out of time.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Why?

Because...

...good forward-planning can avoid Inheritance Tax altogether!

Read On To Find Out What Really Happens To Your Money When You Die and How To Have More Control Over Where Your Hard-Earned Money Goes

Sound advice on the subject of Inheritance Tax is long overdue. And that's why we've teamed up with IHT expert and accountant Colin Davison, to create a guide to Inheritance Tax that is packed with practical guidance and actionable advice.

Ultimately, if you are keen to:

• Legitimately retain as much of your hard-earned cash to reduce your inheritance tax liability to give your family more
• Review your assets and "material worth" quickly and easily at any given moment
• Save your family many times the cost of this book in tax
• Learn the importance of making a Will
• Plan alternatives for passing on your wealth
• Take the right precautions to plan your family's future
• Understand trusts, insurance, home plans and exemptions
• Understand shares, offshore plans and gifts to exempt institutions
• Save a great deal of money and prevent the tax man getting his hands on your wealth...

Then Inheritance Tax Secrets could be exactly what you are looking for.

What's more, Inheritance Tax Secrets will help give you peace of mind - right now and in the future.

If you want your family to benefit from your lifetime of hard work, rather than the tax man, read on.

As Henry Ford famously said, "All that anyone can be certain of are death and taxes."

Of course, what Mr Ford failed to mention was that the latter doesn't end after the former!

Invest a small amount of time and money to understand the issues and you will take back control of your wealth and enable your family to profit rather than pull their hair out.

Look at it this way... If you don't want the tax man to be a major beneficiary, you need this information.

FACTS:

1. 41% of annual IHT contributions in the UK now come from people's homes

2. The average house price has risen exponentially in recent years and is set to double in value from £145,897 to £300,643 by 2020 (Housing Futures). This is why more of us are paying IHT than ever before.

3. Besides property, IHT contributions come from cash savings (26%), shares and securities (12%), and house hold effects, insurance and land holdings (21%)

4. IHT can also apply while you are alive, depending on what you give away and when

It's not hard to see why the Government is raking it in from IHT contributions.

The question YOU should be asking today is:

"Why should I make the Government's pockets deeper, while robbing my own family of what they deserve?"

Do you really want your entire 'material worth' to be taxed by nearly half on your death?

Do you:

• Care who inherits your assets and wealth?
• Want your family to benefit from your lifetime of hard work rather than the tax man?

If you answered yes to the above questions, you owe it to yourself to keep reading.

Furthermore, Inheritance Tax Secrets will:

• Help you to reduce your Inheritance Tax liability and give your family both peace of mind and more money.
• Help you to plan for you and your family's future
• Explain Inheritance Tax matters in a down-to-earth way, so you can make good, informed decisions about your home, savings, business and Will.

And it's not just a case of giving property, assets or cash away to individuals before you die. If only it were as simple as that. Alas, there are many rules and exceptions within the realm of IHT. For example:

By giving a £50,000 gift to your family shortly before your death, your family could pay £20,000 of that sum to the tax man, depending on a number of factors. Unless, of course, you are equipped with insider knowledge that will prevent this from happening.

Get Your Hands On The Information The Tax Man Doesn't Want You To Know

You have an estate, I have an estate! It may not rival Beckingham Palace in stature, but the tax man will still come knocking at your door. You see, the tax man defines anything you own as your estate. And that includes property, business, investments, savings, vehicles, shares and property or businesses that you receive income from, regardless of owning them or not. That's a lot of taxing.

So What's The Secret To Protecting Inheritance?

It is possible to retain as much as 100% of your hard-earned wealth, even if your total material value is over the £263,000 Nil Rate Band.

...it starts with the way you approach matters!

What's up to you is how much you allow the tax man to take on your death.

You have two choices:

1. Do nothing or very little in terms of IHT planning and make the tax man's life easier

2. Do something! Uncover the secrets of Inheritance Tax, save money and make your beneficiaries lives a lot easier

So, which is it going to be?

Choose now, because Mr G Reaper doesn't schedule an appointment.

Seriously though, you need to make sure the right people benefit from your lifetime of hard work. Anything less would be downright unfair? Unless you are a paid member of the Chancellor’s fanclub, we are sure you'd prefer the fruit of your labour to go to loved ones rather than the Government.

The bottom line?

IHT affects EVERYONE, whether directly or indirectly. Just by knowing your IHT rights, and planning against any IHT wrongs, you will save money and headaches for those you are leaving behind. It simply makes good sense to get informed sooner than later.

If you are facing decisions about IHT, this book will help you decide:

• Whether to give your house to your kids or a Trust, and what kind of Trust?
• How much you are able to give to your children in your lifetime without paying tax
• How much you are liable to pay if you want to pass your business on
• How insurance policies can help you plan against IHT and whether you can avoid IHT altogether

And lots more besides...

(Note: The IHT allowances are revised each April. This book covers the changes in effect from April 1st 2005.)

So who is Inheritance Tax Secrets for?

• Anyone other than full time IHT Professionals
• Home owners and regular people who have any savings, shares, property, investments or vehicles
• Business owners and those who generate revenue from businesses they don't own
• Non-specialist financial advisers including accountants, will writers and solicitors.
