How Rachel Reeves could rake in billions from another inheritance tax grab
Britain's most hated tax could be turbo-charged as Rachel Reeves mulls a further death duty raid to plug a £50bn fiscal black hole. The Chancellor has already announced that she will make private pension wealth subject to inheritance tax of 40pc and cut allowances for farmers and businesses. Now the Treasury is considering a lifetime cap on the value of gifts that someone can pass on before they die in order to reduce their eventual inheritance tax bill. The rate of taper relief – the tax discount you get for living at least three years after giving a gift – is also believed to be under review. These aren't the only levers the Chancellor could pull. Here are all the ways Ms Reeves could squeeze more money out of taxpayers after they die. Changing the seven-year rule Current inheritance tax rules mean unlimited amounts of money and assets can be given as gifts to friends and relatives without paying any eventual inheritance tax, as long as the transfer happens at least seven years before the person giving the gift dies. Official data shows that a rising number of people are being caught out by the seven-year rule and incurring a tax bill as a result. The number of estates paying inheritance tax on gifts doubled from 590 in 2011-12 to 1,080 in 2021-22, the latest year for which data is available, according to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) figures. The amount of tax paid on these gifts rose from £101m to £221m over the same period. Wealth managers have reported an increase in clients giving chunks of their wealth to family members amid fears the rule would be extended to 10 years or scrapped altogether in a renewed drive from the Chancellor to raise revenue. Extending the seven-year rule would be one of the simplest ways for the Chancellor to target inheritances, according to Tom Selby of wealth management firm AJ Bell. He said: 'If Rachel Reeves wants to target inheritances again, the simplest way to do this would be to either reduce inheritance tax thresholds or extend the 'seven-year rule' that applies to lifetime gifts. 'Given the freezing of inheritance tax thresholds will naturally raise more cash for the Exchequer over time through fiscal drag, a shift in gifting rules – for example, extending the period for lifetime gifts beyond which 0pc inheritance tax is due from seven years to 10 years – might be a viewed as a politically more palatable option.' Extending the allowance freeze Ms Reeves may also be tempted to raise revenue by extending the freeze to tax-free allowances. The main inheritance tax exemption – the 'nil-rate band' – has been frozen at £325,000 since 2009. This had been due to expire in April 2028, but Ms Reeves pushed the date back to April 2030 in her Budget last year. The allowance would have hit £555,000 by 2029-30 if it had risen with inflation. The freeze has amounted to a stealth raid on inheritances, as rising asset prices mean more people being pushed past the tax-free threshold. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), changes to inheritance tax announced at the Budget last year – including bringing pensions into the inheritance tax net and extending the freeze on the nil-rate band for a further two years – will add £2.5bn to death duty receipts by 2029-30. Tinkering with tapering relief A so-called taper tax rate of between 8pc and 32pc is applied to gifts given between seven and three years before death. Money given less than three years before is taxed at the full inheritance tax rate of 40pc. However, the Treasury is reportedly considering changing taper relief in order to raise revenue. Sarah Coles, of investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown, said that Labour would introduce a 'cliff-edge' into the system if it chose to scrap taper relief altogether. She added: 'This would mean a risk of a heftier tax bill on the estate, which would mean they have less to pass on to their family after their death. 'It would introduce a cliff-edge to the system, so that someone who made a gift in good faith and died one day short of seven years would be hit with a huge tax bill.' Introducing a lifetime cap The amount of money that can be given to friends and relatives as a gift that is potentially free from inheritance tax is currently unlimited. But Ms Reeves is considering limiting the lifetime value of gifts that can be passed on before death. Ian Dyall, of wealth manager Evelyn Partners, said this would be 'very controversial' given the most common form of gifting is between spouses. He added: 'Many households could regard this as a rather intrusive tactic when they just want to pass on hard-earned wealth that has usually already been taxed in some form or other to one's own family.' Analysis by financial advisors, Quilter, shows that retirees are giving around £2,500 to loved ones each year, mostly to help with the cost of living and education. A cap low enough to target these families could disproportionately impact Britain's middle classes, according to Rachel Griffin, of Quilter. She added: 'Introducing a lifetime cap would be a significant departure from current policy. The UK has never had such a limit, and if it were set too low it could affect a large number of middle-class estates, particularly in areas where property wealth alone can easily breach frozen thresholds. 'Tracking a lifetime cap could prove administratively complex, requiring HMRC to hold long-term records of gifts across decades and potentially leading to disputes where records are incomplete. 'There is also the risk of unintended behavioural shifts. A cap might encourage people to make large gifts earlier in life to use up their allowance, potentially moving significant assets out of their control before they are financially ready.'

Oir shoppers 'stop using shower gel' thanks to new favourite that smells better
Soap bars are having something of a resurgence and one brand in particular has been praised by shoppers for lasting 'way longer than a shower gel' while being 'cruelty-free and sustainable' No one enjoys the sight of countless plastic bottles and containers cluttering up the side of the bath, ruining the calming aesthetic of the bathroom. To combat this visual mess, shoppers are swapping shower gels for a plastic-free alternative that leaves their bathroom 'smelling like an expensive spa'. It may seem a bit 'back to basics', but soap bars are experiencing a bit of a comeback. One brand in particular has been applauded by shoppers for lasting 'way longer than a shower gel' while being 'cruelty-free and sustainable'. Independent Scottish brand Òir - pronounced oar, meaning 'golden' in Gaelic - is creating handmade soaps that are becoming popular among those wanting to reduce plastic without sacrificing quality or luxury. They're currently offering customers a discount, perfect for trying the brand for the first time, or saving on festive spending. 63p-a-day supplement for menopausal women that helps them 'feel like their old selves' Next is selling beauty box with £90 worth of makeup, skincare and more for £20 To persuade more people to make the switch, Òir is currently offering 15% off any purchase with a special discount code. Plus, free delivery is available on all orders over £30. Running until 30 September, anyone who uses the code OIR15 will see their price reduced at the checkout. Each bar of Òir's soap, priced at £12.50, is completely plastic-free, vegan, and devoid of palm oil, with the scent derived solely from essential oils. The soaps are beautifully designed, coloured with clay and activated charcoal. Òir offers a variety of scents, including a fragrance-free option for sensitive skin. Their soaps are designed to last longer than your average bottle of shower gel. The formula, which includes cocoa butter and shea butter, is 'super moisturising', ensuring it never dries out the skin. Elsewhere, AKT is selling a body wash concentrate for £26. It features skin-balancing prebiotics, moisture-locking olive squalane, and nourishing vitamin E. Formulated without added water, it delivers a three-times concentrated formula that activates in the shower. Wild is offering their natural refillable shower gels with a case and refill starting from £15.40. The cases, priced at £12, can be refilled with your choice of scented shower gel for years to come. As for Òir, their soaps have been receiving rave reviews from customers who can't get enough of the scents. One shopper, speaking about the lemongrass, clary sage, rosemary hand and body soap, said: "Bathroom smells like an expensive spa. Stopped using shower gels years ago and tried various soaps and this is by far my favourite so far. Smells great, lathers well, not drying on skin and lasts." "I use Oir soap every day," said a fan of the cedarwood, clary sage, rose geranium, vetiver hand and body soap. "It smells amazing and to know that it's free of nasties, cruelty-free and sustainable makes it the perfect soap. It lasts way longer than a shower gel and smells sooo much better." One shopper expressed their disappointment, stating they wouldn't purchase the soap again due to its size. They wrote: "The scent is really good but I'm finding the size a bit big for my little hands. So much so I won't be buying any more." However, the brand suggests slicing the bars in half before use to make them easier to handle. Another customer, a fan of the peppermint, lavender, patchouli, tea tree hand and body soap chimed in: "This is the second Oir hand and body soap I've had. Got one for Xmas and just had to have another. Smells stunning and lasts. Moisturising too. My shower room smells of it too. Will definitely be sticking with Oir." Whether you're new to bar soaps or a long-time advocate, looking to reduce plastic waste in your home, conscious of what you're applying on your skin, or simply hunting for Christmas stocking fillers that are thoughtful and sustainable, Òir could be a fantastic choice.
