The UK government's record inheritance tax haul reveals how more British families are being captured, including expatriates, despite a rising home allowance. The last tax year has proven to be yet another record year for UK inheritance tax (IHT) receipts. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) announced it received an extra £200 million in 2018/19, generating a total of £5.4 billion. This burden was shared between 27,000 families, paying an average tax bill of £200,000 each. Usually, higher tax receipts can be explained through government measures to increase tax rates and widen the scope for liability. However, the 40% rate has been unchanged since IHT's inception in 1986, and an additional main home relief has been in place since April 2017.

It took a few months for the regional government to confirm the new tax law, but it was worth the wait. The Decree-Law was finally approved on 9th April, with one clear objective: to position Andalucía as one of the lowest taxed regions in Spain to help revitalise the regional economy.
