The Aviva Inheritance Tax calculator is designed to give you an approximate indication of your potential Inheritance Tax liability. It is a basic calculator that takes into account your primary assets and liabilities. It doesn't take into account other factors such as non-exempt gifts made in the last 7 years which could add to the value of the taxable estate. The calculation is based on 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 figures. Your situation and the law relating to tax may change in the future. It is possible to minimise your Inheritance Tax liability and maximise the amount you leave behind through effective tax planning. Talk to your financial adviser for more information.
