Recent insight has shown UK taxpayers were able to save over £800million in Inheritance Tax last year alone, according to research by private equity investment firm, Growthdeck.
These individuals were able to make such a significant saving by investing in unlisted companies, making use of IHT relief.

The firm has said many people are currently unaware of the IHT reliefs which are at their disposal, and could be missing out as a result.
