A reminder from our accountancy member that not all gifts count against the estate.
No.20 member Milsted Langdon has published a timely reminder of one of Inheritance Tax's more overlooked reliefs: gifts made regularly from surplus income, rather than capital, can fall outside the taxable estate altogether under the long-standing normal-expenditure-out-of-income rules.
