General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It kicks in at £325,000, plus any additional adjustments.

I really thought it was higher to be honest. That's even worse. Fully support it being raised, but not removed.

There are a bunch of adjustments, chief among them that if you inherit spouse to spouse then it isn't taxed and if spouse 1 passes away without using their inheritance tax amount then you get to use their inheritance tax amount too when you pass away, effectively doubling the limit. Among others, like allowances around your primary residence.

The best thing you can do for your loved ones is leave a Will and a clear paper trail, trust me.
