Back to Basics IHT - The Reliefs

This latest session in the back to basics series focuses on inheritance tax reliefs. The session not only considers fundamental aspects to secure the critical value based reliefs of Business Property Relief and Agricultural Property Relief but also the lesser known reliefs which can reduce IHT liabilities on death.

The session is specifically focused at those who have a basic understanding of IHT mechanics but who have not recently been involved and need a concise and practical refresher on these areas or those who wish to enhance their understanding in this area.

The session is not generally aimed at those new to the profession or to inheritance tax generally.

As with other sessions in the  back to basics  series worked examples and a structured explanation of how the rules operate are a key element.

Specifically the following will be covered:

• Business Property Relief
• Agricultural property Relief
• Fall in value relief for lifetime gifts
• Taper relief
• Post mortem reliefs
• Quoted shares and securities
• Land and property
• Related property
•  Quick succession relief
