Chapter 44 – Inheritance Tax: Introduction

In a 2023 report ‘Reforming inheritance tax’, the Institute for Fiscal Studies expects
IHT to raise over £15 billion by 2032-33 (at today’s prices), with one in eight people
affected by the tax, compared to around 4% of estates in 2020-21.

44.4.1 Progression. The nil rate band for inheritance tax for 2023-24, and fixed until
the end of the tax year 2027-28, remains unchanged at £325,000. The residence nil
rate amount is similarly frozen at £175,000.
