If you've gifted money or assets recently, they may still count. Taper relief reduces the tax (not the value) after 3 years.

Worth knowing This calculator covers the most common England & Wales scenarios under 2026/27 rules. It doesn't account for: domicile complexities, double-grossing on partial charity exemption, gifts with reservation of benefit, the 14-year rule for chargeable lifetime transfers, gifts out of normal expenditure from income, settlements and trusts, foreign assets, or the planned April 2027 inclusion of unused pensions. The annual £3,000 gift exemption isn't auto-applied here, so enter net values where relevant. This is a planning aid, not advice. For your actual circumstances, please book a consultation.
