Discounted Gift Trust
Reduce inheritance tax and enjoy a fixed, regular payments.
The discounted gift trust (DGT) could be ideal for those looking for Inheritance Tax (IHT) planning and fixed, regular payments. Provided you live for at least seven years after the creation of the trust, the value of the gift moves out of your IHT estate. Any growth on the investment is outside of your estate from day one.
