What the estate owes
Inheritance tax context
The nil-rate band is currently £325,000. An extra residence nil-rate band of up to £175,000 may apply when a home passes to children or grandchildren, and unused allowance can often be transferred from a spouse or civil partner who died earlier. Anything above the available allowances is normally taxed at 40%.
