More estates face inheritance tax as liabilities jump 12%, industry professionals share their views—IFA Magazine
Partner Kieran Bowe has been quoted in an article from IFA Magazine on the annual Inheritance Tax (IHT) liability statistics relating to the 2022–23 tax year, released by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on 31 July 2025. Kieran comments on the continued upward trend in IHT receipts and highlights how policy changes, such as the prolonged freezing of the Nil Rate Band and forthcoming reforms, are bringing more families into scope for IHT.
Families who wish to limit their exposure to IHT will need to carefully plan succession of their wealth to their loved ones; simply transferring assets in their lifetime may not always be effective for IHT and in some cases can trigger a double whammy of IHT and CGT. It is more important than ever to seek professional advice.
