Did you know?
- The term Domicile is associated with where HMRC (tax office) classes your home. A residence has to do with income tax, BUT Domicile collects IHT. It is essential to know the difference.
- Anyone who is a UK Domicile when they die will have their global assets valued for Inheritance Tax (IHT) to be paid to the UK tax office – HMRC. This is 40% (on all assets) above the nil rate band GBP 325,000. If you are married to another UK Domicile, then your assets pass to each other tax-free, but your children would then get a bill of 40% above your joint estate value of GBP 650,000. If your spouse is not a UK Domicile, they will get a tax bill of 40% above GBP 650,000.
There is an additional allowance for UK property ownership if you leave your assets to your children as beneficiaries via your will.
- Without a Will, the Court of Probate (authorization for the distribution of your assets) makes decisions on your behalf – this is often not what we would choose and leaves your loved ones to go through a lengthy and often stressful process. A lengthy probate is simply not ideal, especially if it also includes decisions as to the guardianship of your minor children.
