Meades Contractors can help you:
- review expenses
- check profit bands and reliefs
- keep clear records for HMRC

Think Inheritance Tax only needs sorting once probate is granted?

In reality, IHT is due by the end of the sixth month after death, and HMRC charges interest if it is paid late. You usually need to pay some tax before you can get probate. Some qualifying business and agricultural assets inherited on or after 6 April 2026 can now be paid by instalments without interest if you pay on time.

How Meades Contractors can help:
- Clarify what is due and when
- Plan instalments and payments
- Liaise with HMRC to reduce stress
