What specifically triggers an inheritance tax bill upon death for UK property investors, beyond the main residence nil rate band, and what are the current thresholds and exemptions I need to be aware of?
Quick Answer
Inheritance Tax (IHT) is triggered when a deceased investor's estate value exceeds the Nil Rate Band (£325,000) and potentially the Main Residence Nil Rate Band (£175,000). Property assets, especially those not qualifying for specific reliefs, contribute to this threshold.
