Gifts that give back

Graphic of people exchanging gifts

December is often seen as the gifting season. But alongside the usual socks and chocolate gold coins, it might be worth planning a slightly bigger, longer-term present for your loved ones this year.

Inheritance tax (IHT) is notoriously complicated and can hit people with a big bill if it isn’t managed properly. It isn’t reserved for the very wealthy either. Dealing with IHT is a reality that many more families face after a loved one has passed - in what is usually an extremely vulnerable moment.

This is where using your gifting allowances can make a real impact on those around you. It’s a great way to share your wealth with the people you love while limiting their exposure to IHT. It does take a little bit of extra planning though.

Sitting down with an adviser like me can help you figure out where you want your money to go, and when. For instance, it might be more helpful to gift a family member a contribution towards their first home now, rather than leaving them a legacy.

Whatever you decide is best, we’ll find the most tax efficient way to do it.

I'm happy to say that I did benefit from the discussions with my financial adviser. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, provided advice and guidance as to my future pension and retirement plans.

I would definitely recommend him to friends and family and plan to contact him again when I am closer to retirement.

I have had financial advice in the past however this is the first time I feel confident in saying that I understand my options regarding my pension works and feel optimistic about my pension plans for the future.

Daniel Birtles's location

Background: I have worked within the financial services industry for over 20 years, I originally started off within the insurance industry and then moved on to work within the banking sector. I have worked for two of the biggest banks within the UK, I have always wanted to be in a position where I can work for myself. I like the idea of having flexibility within my working week, and I know that through hard work and dedication I can make a successful business that will support me and my family for years to come.

Study: I have always wanted to educate myself to a very high standard, it’s important for me to have a high degree of knowledge, because I know my clients will see the benefits of working with an advisor that has taken the additional steps to have the increased knowledge and expertise.

Social: I enjoy spending time with my partner Sam and my cat Molly. I enjoy playing golf and I'm looking at reducing my handicap, so that I can potentially take my game overseas and experience some of the fantastic golf courses available within Europe. I have practised martial arts for a long time and gained black belt status, this type of training helps me stay fit and helps me focus my mind. I enjoy dining out, and as I'm getting older I'm preferring to go for a nice meal rather than spending time on the dance floor.

Aspirations: My goals are to manage a portfolio of my own clients, to build up healthy working relationships where I can utilise my experience and knowledge to help people with their financial plans. My Portfolio of clients is increasing all the time which is enabling me the opportunities to put into practise all of my years of study. I feel confident that I can help people with their financial planning, which includes things like trust and tax planning, pension and investment advice and having the right protection policies in place. I work in association with a fantastic company ‘Quilter’, utilising their experience and professionalism puts me in a great position and fills me with confidence when I'm in front of my clients.

I specialise in providing tailored advice on long-term care planning across the United Kingdom, helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of care funding and support options. With a deep understanding of the process and the evolving landscape of social care, I offer clear, compassionate guidance to ensure clients make informed decisions about their future. Whether planning ahead or facing immediate care needs, I provide expert solutions designed to protect assets and secure the right care arrangements.
