For inheritance tax (IHT) purposes, every individual is entitled to a nil rate band (NRB), currently worth £325,000.  
 
This means that the first £325,000 of his/her death estate (basically assets less liabilities) falls subject to a charge at 0% (assuming no lifetime gifts within seven years of death). Above this amount, IHT is charged on death at 40%.
 
However, Malcolm Finney has written an article in which he looks at aspects of the residence nil rate band that are not commonly understood.
 
It is a sample article from our popular Property Tax Insider newsletter but you can read it right here:
