Inheritance Tax

Published on:

January 27, 2011

Inheritance Tax, known popularly and affectionately as IHT, is the only tax where you do not get to join in personally, on account of the fact that you will have left the party for good if it is payable. Sad, really, to miss out on one final opportunity to pay some tax, possibly the largest amount you will ever have had to pay in one go. Well, don't regret it too much - after all, you'll have had a lifetime's pleasure of paying income tax, national insurance, VAT, stamp duty, etc.
