Inheritance Tax
Our coverage on Inheritance Tax provides in-depth reporting on the evolving UK tax landscape and its implications for accountants, estate planners, and financial advisers. Accountancy Today analyses recent policy changes, such as the shift from a domicile-based to a residence-based regime effective from April 2025, which redefines liability for UK inheritance tax. Our editorial also explores the challenges faced by non-domiciled individuals due to the abolition of their inheritance tax exemptions, prompting some to reconsider their UK residency. This coverage equips accountancy professionals with critical insights into inheritance tax reforms, enabling them to advise clients effectively on estate planning and compliance strategies.
