How Does Inheritance Tax Affect Life Insurance? Spirit’s Tax-Saver

Inheritance tax (IHT) can gut your life insurance - 40% over £325,000 HMRC, 2023. In 2020, £146 billion paid out Statista, 2024, but HMRC nabbed chunks without trusts. Spirit Cover fixes that - every policy’s trust-placed, free - keeping your £152,000 average cover Forbes Advisor UK, 2024 whole, plus perks like GP 24/7.

IHT Basics

Estate over £325,000 (£500,000 to spouse)? 40% tax. £300,000 policy, £400,000 estate - £75,000 taxable, £30,000 lost. £4.64 billion paid out in 2023 ABI, 2023, but tax bites hard.

Spirit’s Hack

Trusts keep payouts out of your estate - no IHT. £300,000 stays £300,000. Plus:

  • Benefits: Second Medical Opinion, Physio Support - same £38/month.
  • Free Setup: No cost, all gain.

Why It’s Big

UK estates paid £5.4 billion IHT in 2022 HMRC, 2023. Spirit stops the bleed.
