This Board had a thread recently discussing shielding profits here from tax by using ISA etc. ISAs count towards total Estate on death, but there is currently an exemption for 'Business Property Relief' if shares meet certain criteria. Main ones would appear to be satisfied: listed on AIM; a trading share; continuously held. If HMRC agree the status (unhelpfully, part of Probate process), at least 50% of value is exempt IHT. Some people's holding may, God-willing, be well in to 7 figures value in a few years time so your Wealth Manager/ Investment Adviser might be able to help you pass on more in the fullness of time. And, ffs, do ask them not me!
