Did you know?
In some estates, leaving a qualifying charitable gift can reduce the Inheritance Tax rate applied to the relevant taxable part from 40% to 36%.
The figure people often hear is “leave 10% to charity”, but the legal calculation is more specific than that. It is based on a defined baseline amount and can be affected by the estate’s structure.
That means an online percentage or quick calculation should never replace proper advice.
The right plan should support the people and causes you care about while reflecting your full circumstances.
