Over the years, the IHT thresholds have, in real terms, stealthily fallen.

The threshold (nil rate band) has not kept pace with property inflation and as such more and more people are falling into the trap of paying inheritance tax. IHT is payable at a flat rate of 40% on assets above the nil rate band. Unlike many other taxes though, there are plenty of things you can do now to make sure you pass as much of your wealth on to your family and friends and not the taxman.
