Domicile and Inheritance Tax

If you want to avoid 40% Inheritance tax in the UK, your choices need further consideration with the new EU legislation and a global move towards a statutory definition of Domicile.  

If you write in a Will confirming your domicile as your home country then Inheritance Tax is assessed there.  0% inheritance tax applies in Cyprus if family inherit under Cyprus laws of succession.
