Inheritance tax is a tax levied on the transfer of money or property after the owner’s death. Although international law establishes distinctions between the two, it is commonly referred to as “estate tax.”
A commonly asked question is ‘How much money can you inherit before you have to pay taxes in the UK?’ Well, within the UK the standard tax rate for inheritance tax is 40%, but this is only charged when the estate is over the tax-free threshold of £325,000.
