Inheritance Tax in Scotland Explained 2026 How UK Rules Apply to Scottish Estates and Families | MTA

Описание: Inheritance Tax in Scotland often causes confusion, especially where Scottish succession law differs from England and Wales. In 2026, HMRC continues to apply UK-wide Inheritance Tax rules, but Scottish estates face additional practical and legal considerations that families and executors must understand. In this video, MTA (My Tax Accountant) explains how Inheritance Tax works in Scotland, when UK rules apply, and where Scottish law changes the administration process.

MTA breaks down how UK Inheritance Tax thresholds, reliefs, and payment deadlines operate for Scottish estates in 2026, while also explaining the impact of Scottish succession rules such as legal rights, executry procedures, and asset distribution. We explain how these differences can affect valuations, timing, and HMRC reporting, particularly for property, business assets, and cross-border family estates.

This video is tailored exclusively for UK taxpayers and reflects real cases MTA (My Tax Accountant) handles for families with Scottish connections. We explain who is responsible for paying Inheritance Tax, how instalment options work for Scottish property, and why executors must ensure HMRC filings align with Scottish legal documentation in 2026.

MTA also highlights how Excepted Estates rules apply in Scotland in 2026. While the tax itself is UK-wide, incorrect assumptions about exemptions, domicile, or asset location can lead to delays, rejected submissions, or HMRC follow-up queries. For families with assets in both Scotland and elsewhere in the UK, consistency and accuracy are critical.

If you are dealing with an estate in Scotland, planning ahead, or unsure how UK Inheritance Tax applies to your situation in 2026, this video provides clear guidance based on practical experience. MTA (My Tax Accountant) can help ensure estates are handled correctly, efficiently, and in line with both HMRC requirements and Scottish law.
