Having paid taxes all your life you could be forgiven for wanting to save your children from a large tax bill when you pass away. One method of avoiding inheritance tax (IHT) is through investing in shares quoted on the Aim, the London Stock Exchange's junior market, many of which qualify for business relief. If these shares are held for two years and are still held at the date of death, then they can be exempt from IHT. Avoiding IHT in this way means you keep access to your capital and doesn't involve you in the legalcomplexities or cost of many other IHT-avoidance schemes.
