Inheritance Tax Planning Bedford
The majority of our clients have worked hard throughout their lives, in order to be able to pass on money, property and assets to their loved ones when they die. An important factor to consider is Inheritance tax planning. Without it, your family could be liable for a 40% tax on your estate.

A long-term, personalised approach to achieving your financial goals
Inheritance Tax applies if the estate you wish to pass on after your death is worth more than £325,000 – this is known as the nil-rate band. Your liability for Inheritance Tax is calculated by adding up the sum total of your assets, including:
- Property and land
- Bank accounts
- Jewellery and art
- Shares
- Cars
The nil-rate band £325,000, would be subtracted from the total and the remainder is taxed at a rate of 40%. In certain circumstances using the ‘residence nil rate’ band could boost this threshold to £500,000 or even £1,000,000 if exempt gifting between spouses is used.
Inheritance Tax planning helps clients in Bedford to minimise the Inheritance Tax liability, in order to be able to pass more of their estate to loved ones, rather than suffering significant tax charges paid to HMRC. To achieve this Harpur Wealth can explore the use of the ‘residence nil-rate band’, ‘gifting’ and ‘pensions’ as 3 of a number of possible components that can be used in the development of an effective Inheritance Tax strategy.
