	tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
	uin	HL16723
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2019 answer text <p>Inheritance tax makes an important contribution to the health of public finances and the Government has no plans to abolish it.</p><p> </p><p>The rate of inheritance tax is normally 40% on the value of an estate above a nil rate band of £325,000. Any unused nil rate band may be transferred to a surviving spouse or civil partner, increasing their combined threshold to up to £650,000.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government recognises that individuals work hard to build up assets with the aim of passing these on to their families. Rising house prices have contributed to more families facing an inheritance tax bill. The Government is addressing this through the phased introduction of the additional £175,000 residence nil rate band. Any unused residence nil rate band may also be transferred to a surviving spouse or civil partner.</p><p> </p><p>Taken together, the combination of the nil rate bands means an individual could pass on up to £500,000 in 2020-21 and the estate of the remaining spouse or civil partner could pass on up to £1 million under certain circumstances in 2020-21. Around 96% of estates are forecast to be able to pass on all their assets without paying any inheritance tax as a result.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2018, the Chancellor of the Exchequer commissioned the Office of Tax Simplification to review the tax. The first report was published in November 2018 and the second report in July 2019. The Government will consider the recommendations.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 09/07/2019 16:39:20 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
