“Under plans put out for consultation, HM Revenue & Customs would have powers to subject people minimising inheritance tax to ‘accelerated payment’ laws, meaning they would be forced to pay up front if officials suspect them of using new schemes to avoid tax. Experts have warned that under the rules, taxpayers will be treated as ‘guilty until proven innocent’. Ministers are concerned that growing numbers of people are setting up trusts to shield their estates from inheritance tax. Treasury forecasts suggest that rising house prices and the recovering economy will push tens of thousands more people over the £325,000 threshold for paying the duty.”
