Bank Inheritance Tax relief on selling your company

If you are looking to sell your company, then you may be able to preserve your current Inheritance Tax position, rather than lose a valuable relief.  You could settle your shares in trust and secure the business property relief available on the shares which could effectively wipe out the Inheritance Tax on their value.  As long as the shares are settled in trust prior to the sale of the shares, then it may be possible to preserve the relief, known as business property relief, so that the no Inheritance Tax would be due on the proceeds.
