Inheritance tax is becoming a concern to more and more people. A simple yet effective way of planning is to use exemptions and reliefs and use of the normal expenditure out of income exemption can be particularly useful.

It is a fact that inheritance tax receipts are increasing and the number of families paying inheritance tax is now at a 35 year high.  In 2009/10 2.6% of deaths gave rise to IHT.  In 2015/16 this was 7.1%.   And the expectation is that the tax receipts will increase still further with a prediction of £5.6 billion from tax year 2020/21.

Inheritance tax is obviously affecting more estates and will continue to do so.

Many people will be keen to take practical action that can reduce the impact of the tax without materially affecting their standard of living or financial security.

It’s called the Snowball System because your little decisions will build up to make a big difference.

My name is Warren Shute, and I am one of the UK’s leading Financial Planners and a bestselling author of The Money Plan. I realised there were many people who did not feel comfortable reaching out to a Financial Planner, either because they did not feel they earnt enough, had enough or were just put off by the term ‘Wealth Manager’.

So after I won Certified Financial Planner of the Year, I decided to turn my attention to help those individuals and families make better money decisions as I believe everyone deserves to have financial freedom, freedom from the worries of money, regardless of wealth or status. I set up http://warrenshute.com and wrote the bestselling book "The Money Plan" to help with just that.

Now you can listen to my weekly YouTube show "The Money Planner" as a podcast, where I discuss ideas and strategies for better money management so you can become financially free.
