One of our clients paid us a visit recently with a small pet carrier.
We couldn’t resist peeking in and we found a SKUNK!
Apparently they are the “new thing” in pets.
His name was Squirt but fortunately for the office, he didn’t whilst he was with us!
None of us are! And at some point we have to start considering that taboo subject of potential inheritance Tax liability on our estates.
Very broadly speaking, there is nil rate band on net value up to £325,000 per person. The rate thereafter is 40%.
A married couple can expect to automatically share twice that limit, […]
