 Inheritance Tax interest rates continue to rise

Inheritance Tax interest rates continue to rise

As Inheritance Tax (IHT) interest rates continue to increase, Personal Representatives face additional financial burden when settling a deceased person’s estate. Throughout 2023, the interest rate on unpaid IHT has increased six times. On 22nd August 2023, interest increased to 7.75% – an increase of 1.75% from January 2023 – and interest on repayments increased to 4.25%.

In Kings Court Trust’s latest blog, they explain when interest is due on Inheritance Tax and compare the current interest rates with the previous increases implemented throughout 2023.
