Inheritance tax can be levied on the estate of someone who has died and is passing on their assets. IHT will usually be charged at 40 percent on estates valued higher than £325,000 but there will normally not be anything to pay if everything above the £325,000 threshold is left to a spouse, civil partner or a charity.
