Introduction to our IHT roadshow
In November, Downing in partnership with Tax Efficient Review and Technical Connection are embarking on a nationwide tour! We will be travelling to 7 different locations across the UK, engaging with advisers to discuss various aspects of inheritance tax planning.
We are thrilled to have the expertise of Hugh Rogers from Tax Efficient Review and Tony Wickenden from Technical Connection who are joining us on this journey. Together, we will explore the latest trends in the inheritance tax solutions space. Additionally, Downing will provide insights into the property and energy market in the UK.
