Understanding Inheritance Tax
Event Date: Tuesday 28th April 2026 | Time: 7pm – 8pm
About this event
Inheritance Tax is one of the most misunderstood areas of personal finance. Many people assume it will never affect them, while others make decisions based on outdated rules or common myths that can end up costing their family dearly.
In this practical and plain English session, Pawan Thaker will explain how Inheritance Tax really works, who it affects and where people most often go wrong. He will look at the biggest pitfalls, the mistakes he sees time and again and why good intentions can sometimes lead to poor outcomes.
The session will also explore what recent budget changes mean in real terms, not headlines. You will gain clarity on what applies now, what may change in future and how to think sensibly about planning without overcomplicating things or rushing into unsuitable solutions.
This is a no nonsense guide to approaching Inheritance Tax with confidence. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just clear explanations and practical thinking to help you understand your options and make informed decisions for you and your family.
This event will not be able to discuss your specific personal finance situations.
