What actually is inheritance tax, and will it affect you? Can it be avoided without breaking the law? And why are Britain’s farmers so furious about it? In this episode, Holly Mead is joined by consumer finance expert Sarah Pennells to demystify one of the UK’s most controversial taxes. From gifting and the seven-year rule to pensions, property, and the latest government changes, Feel Better About Money is breaking it all down.

Feel Better About Money

A weekly podcast for those who want to understand money better. A podcast from The Times and Sunday Times about what is possible.


The presenters, Lucy Andrews and Holly Mead, are experts in personal finance. Here, they talk about themselves, their friends, neighbourhoods, weddings, meals, and why it is often so very hard to save as much as you'd like!


Each week, Holly and Lucy take a single subject such as pensions or tax to test out with tried and tested experts; many from within the Times Money team. Their aim is simple - to give you the insights and information you can use to make your money work better for you.
