Course Details

The IHT rules regarding excluded property trusts has had an overhaul in the last couple of years. What is now considered “relevant property” has expanded, it is now much easier for trusts to flow between relevant property and excluded property status and we have extra considerations now when approaching the actual tax calculations.

 

Victoria Baguley-Wood will cover the following topics during this webinar:

  • Schedule A1 property
  • Relevant property loans
  • The FA 2025 changes
  • The FA 2026 changes
  • Planning points moving forward

 

By attending this session, you will be able to: 

  • Understand how the introduction of a residence-based regime (rather than a domicile-based regime) affects the Inheritance Tax (IHT) treatment of a trust.
  • Apply the Schedule A1 provisions relating to residential property, certain loans and agricultural property.
  • Understand the new IHT "cap", including when it applies and the practical implications for trusts and beneficiaries.
  • Identify the key considerations and compliance obligations that advisers to trusts need to be aware of under the new regime moving forward.

 

This session will be of particular interest to:

  • Accountants: private client, personal tax and trusts
  • Private client advisers
  • Family offices

 

Course Level: Intermediate / Advanced
