How much could I save?
If you own a family home, this proposal could save your beneficiaries up to £400,000 in inheritance tax. Currently, estates over £325,000 (or £500,000 with a property for descendants) face a 40% tax. This change would lift the tax-free threshold for married couples to £1 million, a significant increase from the present £650,000 combined allowance.
