Will you pay 72% effective tax as a business owner?

The UK tax system is notoriously complex – often leading to honest taxpayers making mistakes which cost them later. One example of this is that certain business owners may end up paying as much as 72p on every £1 they earn in their lifetime.

This can occur when 40% inheritance tax (IHT) is added to the value of assets which have already been taxed over a taxpayer’s lifetime (due to income tax and National Insurance). Below, we explain why this can happen and offer ideas about how to avoid it...
