in Cutting tax
Newbie alert!
I am about to inherit £80K from the sale of a deceased relatives house.
I have a 6 month old baby and a wife whose maternity pay is about to run out, and does not want to go back to work.
If the money is in her name in a savings account will she pay tax on the interest?
Anything else to look out for? Having this sort of money is a very new and daunting experience.

It depends on how much the interest is and whether your wife is claiming JSA. If the interest plus JSA and any other taxable income does not exceed £5435 from 6 April, she will not be liable to tax and will be able to register to have the interest paid gross.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0
