November budget

I may be being incredibly dense or misinterpreted what was said in the Tory manifesto of 2015, but I swore they said they were going to put inheritance tax up to £1m. I checked on HMRC and it still says £325k. Is this still going ahead or has it been canned? Couldn't see any mention of this today either?

  • I can't say it's the first thing I checked on mate.

    I won't have to worry about it.
  • I only mentioned it as it was probably the one thing I actually wanted to see come out of their manifesto.

    It comes in in April 2017 but isn't as simple as raising the £325k to £1m.

    It's linked to property being passed on in what is called the Residence Nil Rate Band (RNRB) and the £1m is per couple.

    £325k each (which can be passed on to a surviving spouse) - so £650k in total for a couple plus an increasing RNRB =- maxes out at £175k each by 2021 - hence a total per couple of £1m.

    The property element can be passed on to spouse or children on death.

    Confused????

    Thanks Bob.

    Does make sense (just :wink: )
  • Check you out cabbs, less than 24 hours ago you were standing on the terraces shouting "Oo are yer" and now you are discussing the Tory manifesto. :smile:

    Just to add to that very well put answer. The RNRB starts at £100k and increases in £25k steps every year until 20/21 when it (currently) maxs out at £175k

    I assume they never promised when in the Parliament it would happen anyway, and there are 3 1/2 years to go
  • Seems like a lot of stuff has been shelved, not least the tax on dying.

    Have you bumped someone off and now you're not sure it was really worth it?
