Format:Paperback
I have been looking for a clearly written book on Inheritance tax planning for some time and have bought several. I would say this one is the best because the author has an extremely engaging and user friendly style. He also uses lots of clear examples throughout. What I like about this book is that it discusses both simple and more sophisticated inheritance tax planning methods, remaining easy to follow from beginning to end.

Format:Unknown Binding
I was disappointed when this book arrived and found that it was actually a bound booklet rather than a proper book – therefore my advice would be to get the e-Book (which is in PDF format, £5 cheaper and immediately downloadable) and print it out yourself.
In terms of content I have found it invaluable. In fact it contains far more information than any of the IHT range of booklets that you can download from the Inland Revenue Inheritance Tax pages - which are free of course but they don't also tell you how to try and avoid / minimise the tax as well. Where I had found the Inland Revenue guidance on IHT calculations confusing, or at least a little unclear (on the use of certain types of Trusts for example), I have been able to refer to this book for the answer. I had telephoned the Inland Revenue advice line before getting the book and had been told contradicting information by two different telephone advisors – when I referred to the book it already had a definitive answer. After reading the book I also saw a solicitor and actually picked her up on a couple of minor errors she made in her advice as a result of the excellent understanding of the methods and issues which I had gained from this guide.
The book acts as a signpost telling you the ways you can avoid / minimise the tax but it isn’t then a step-by-step instruction book of how to undertake the most complicated methods yourself. I believe that as a result of this the book is relatively easy to read. I think if you need to undertake the most complicated methods of avoiding the IHT then a solution where you could follow a set of instructions wouldn’t work for you anyway and a professional needs to be brought in to ensure the legal side is watertight.
It may seem quite expensive at £25 (or £20 if you go for the e-Book) but it certainly covers all the methods of avoiding IHT and explains them well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and the advice in the book was so good I have since bought four more TaxCafe.co.uk guides on different subjects!

Format:Paperback
A clear, simple explanation of a very complex subject. Worked examples add to the clarity. Gives the status of the law in early 2005. In some areas, e.g. trusts, you may feel the need to get further explanation but this book gives sufficient detail for most people.
Gave me enough knowledge to be able to talk, and argue, with the IFA and put forward a proposal that suited my family.
