Does your Will benefit from the new tax-free allowance?
On behalf of Attwaters Jameson Hill posted on Friday, September 22nd, 2017
The Residence Nil-Rate Band (RNRB) is a tax-free allowance, introduced in April this year, that is available when you pass your main residence on to a direct descendant.
What do I need to know?
- It’s available in addition to your own nil-rate band of £325,000
- The allowance is being introduced in stages over four years, starting from £100,000 (April 2017)
- It covers the main residence, when passed to direct descendants, but certain conditions do apply
- Only one residential property will qualify for the relief. If you have multiple, you can nominate one
