Join Murray Beith Murray Associate, Caroline Pringle, for this important new webinar aimed at private client practitioners specialising in estate planning and trusts, on 26 June at 12.30pm.
For some time, there have been calls to simplify the current Inheritance Tax (‘IHT’) regime.
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Government support that has been required, it has been widely discussed in private client circles that IHT reform may again be revisited with a view to raising revenue.
As reform of the current IHT regime could have a significant impact on how we approach estate planning and may also impact on arrangements that individuals currently have in place, practitioners need to be mindful of these proposals.
