Inheritance Tax: everyone loathes it, few understand it, and fewer still know how to avoid paying more than necessary. If you've ever wondered how it really works - or how to stop it taking a sizeable bite out of your estate - this concise and accessible book will point you in the right direction. With over twenty-five years in the industry, Lee W. Denham blends practical guidance, gentle humour and stories from real client situations to make sense of a notoriously confusing tax. You'll learn how to sidestep the most common mistakes and take control of your planning - proving once again that Inheritance Tax truly is, as one former Labour Chancellor put it, "a voluntary levy paid by those who distrust their heirs more than they dislike the Inland Revenue."
