Tax benefits to leaving a gift in your Will
Including the Hospice in your Will can provide significant tax benefits. Inheritance Tax applies if a person’s estate (property, money, and possessions) is worth more than £325,000 at the time of their death. This is known as the ‘Inheritance Tax threshold.’ The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40% on anything above this threshold.
A gift to Dr Kershaw’s Hospice would be completely exempt from Inheritance Tax. Additionally, leaving 10% or more of the net value of an estate to charity can reduce the tax rate payable on the remainder of the estate from 40% to 36%.
If you believe your estate may be subject to Inheritance Tax and wish to reduce its impact, it’s advisable to consult a solicitor, accountant, or independent financial adviser, you can also visit the government’s website on Inheritance Tax .
