Inheritance Tax and Business Property Relief
How will the changes to Business Property Relief affect your Inheritance Tax bill? If you hold shares in your trading company or an interest in a partnership or sole trader, from 6 April 2026 you are likely to pay 20% inheritance tax on the value of your holding or interest above £1m. Why? Because of the changes to Business Property Relief announced in the Autumn Budget.
