Is there anything I should do before the end of the tax year to save on inheritance tax?
If you have not made any significant gifts of capital since 6 April 2007, you can give a total of £3,000 to individuals to use your annual inheritance tax exemption for 2007/08. If you did not make any similar gifts in 2006/07 you can give a total of £6,000 before 6 April 2008 and all those gifts will be exempt from inheritance tax. Make sure you leave enough time for your cheques to pass through the banking system before 6 April 2008, as otherwise the gifts will not be completed.
