The Inheritance Tax allowance for passing on the family home

Facebook Twitter Linkedin

The residence nil rate band is an allowance for passing on the family home without paying Inheritance Tax. The allowance was introduced in April 2017.

This means many people may need to review their Wills or speak to a financial planner for advice.
