Inheritance Tax is a tax on the property, money and possessions of someone who has died. As with all taxes there are different rates, reliefs and exemptions. The funds from the deceased person's estate is used to pay Inheritance Tax and this is done by the person who is dealing with the estate. If there's a Will, this will normally be the executor. With Inheritance Tax there are various tax implications to be considered. For example, beneficiaries don't normally pay tax on what they inherit but they may be liable for taxes in other ways. A good example of this would be if they get rental income from a house that is left to them in a Will. Normally you won't pay Inheritance Tax if your estate's value is under a certain threshold or if you leave everything to a spouse, civil partner or charity. It is also possible to pay Inheritance Tax at a reduced rate if you leave 10% or more of the net value to charity.
