Estates paying inheritance tax
Estates that need a full inheritance tax account for HMRC.
| Price | How it is charged | What the firm published |
|---|---|---|
| £1,250 to £1,750plus VAT | Fixed fee | The firm's wordsAs a guide, we estimate our fees for dealing with the administration of an estate will be in the region of: Where the gross value of the estate for Inheritance Tax purposes does not exceed £75,000, our fees would be £1,250 - £1,750 + VAT. |
| 2% of the estateplus VAT | Percentage of the estate | The firm's wordsWhere the gross value of the estate for Inheritance Tax purposes exceeds £75,000 we would not anticipate that the costs would exceed 2% of the gross value of the estate for Inheritance Tax purposes + VAT subject to a minimum of £1,250 + VAT. |

How to read these prices
Firms publish prices for different pieces of work, so compare the same row across firms rather than the headline. A fee marked "from" is the firm's starting price and the final figure can be higher. A fee marked "estimate" was published against a described example estate rather than as a flat price. Where a firm did not say whether VAT is included, we say so rather than guessing: VAT adds a fifth to the bill.
