The Daily Telegraph (24/3/09) reports that Inheritence tax reduced if you die from war injuries. I had not heard of this before. Is it well known?
"Where injuries suffered during military service are a contributory factor in anybody's death, then that person's estate may become IHT- free. Mr Warburton said: "Not many people know about this exemption but it enabled a Duke of Westminster to avoid IHT when he died many years after injuries sustained during the Second World War and it may now be relevant to more people, following our military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan."
