Inheritance tax – proposals for change
Inheritance tax is an issue that needs to be considered in all estates regardless of their value. The current inheritance tax rules are long and complex and there have been ongoing debates relating to reform of inheritance tax for many years. Most recently there has been a proposal to change the current seven year rule to five years for gifts. This would mean that gifts made 7 years before the owner died would not be subject to inheritance tax.
