💡 Key HMRC 7-Year Principles

  • PET Status: Transfers to living individuals become entirely tax-free if the donor survives 7 full years.
  • Nil-Rate Priority: Lifetime gifts use the £325k Nil-Rate Band before the rest of the estate.
  • Taper Relief: Only applies to tax due on gifts that exceed the available Nil-Rate Band.
