BPR allows you to reduce the value of your business assets, such as shares in a qualifying company or an interest in an unlisted trading company, for inheritance tax purposes.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>BPR can be claimed at two rates: 50% and 100%. Assets that qualify for 100% relief include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A business or interest in a business<\/li>\n<li>Shares in an unlisted company<\/li>\n<li>Land, buildings, or machinery used in the business<\/li>\n<li>Unquoted shares or securities, including those listed on AIM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Assets that qualify for 50% relief include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Land, buildings, or machinery used in a business where the business is let to a trading company or partnership<\/li>\n<li>An unquoted shareholding in a listed company that has traded on a recognized stock exchange for at least two years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>How can Business Property Relief help with Estate Tax Planning?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you own a business or have invested in a qualifying company, BPR can significantly reduce the value of your assets for inheritance tax purposes. This means that when you pass away, your estate&#8217;s value will be lower, and the amount of inheritance tax due will be reduced.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you own a business valued at \u00a32 million, and you pass away, your estate&#8217;s value for inheritance tax purposes would be \u00a32 million. However, if your business qualifies for 100% BPR, the value of your estate would be reduced to \u00a31 million, resulting in a substantial reduction in the amount of inheritance tax due.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Choose SMH Wills &amp; Probate for Business Property Relief?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At SMH Wills &amp; Probate we have a team of experienced estate tax planning professionals who specialise in Business Property Relief.
