The proceeds of a life insurance plan are not usually liable for either income or capital gains tax. But if youâre not careful, inheritance tax (IHT) could take a big chunk out of the policy payout. Inheritance tax is paid at 40% on the value of your estate above the so-called nil rate band of Â£325,000.In other words, if your estate was worth Â£500,000, the IHT bill could be 40% of Â£175,000, or Â£70,000.o, if your family is likely to be liable for IHT on your estate after your death, you can arrange life insurance to pay the bill. However, tax is a complex subject so you should talk first to a specialist advisor.
In the case of inheritance taxes, spouses, children, or siblings often have different exemptions, which we list in detail in table 35 in the 2015 edition of our annual handbook, Facts & Figures. Currently, fifteen states and the District of Columbia have an estate tax, and six states have an inheritance tax. Maryland and New Jersey have both. The state with the highest maximum estate tax rate is Washington (20 percent), followed by eleven states which have a maximum rate of 16 percent. Hawaii and Delaware have the highest exemption threshold at $5,430,000 (matching the federal exemption). New Jersey has the lowest, only exempting estates up to $675,000.
