As Britain enters “a new era of higher taxes” (FT), Nigel Farage reveals:

How to legally sidestep Britain’s hated DEATH TAX

Make these 8 completely LEGAL moves… and
help your kids keep what’s rightfully theirs

Dear reader,

Taxed for dying…

It sticks in the craw, doesn’t it?

You’ve paid your taxes all your working life…

You’ve given back tens, probably hundreds of thousands of pounds to this country.

Yet it doesn’t end there.

Even after you’re gone, some faceless bureaucrat is poised to bleed your family dry…

To take their cut of what you’ve left behind - for whatever hare-brained scheme the government are cooking up.

Of course, we all want essential services like hospitals and schools to get the money they need.

But too often our hard-earned cash seems to end up in all the wrong places.

Earlier this year, the government was slammed for wasting billions - £26.8 billion, according to the Independent… with huge sums lost “due to fraud and faulty personal protective equipment (PPE) during the pandemic, poorly-planned defence procurement and on private consultancy fees”.

That’s on top of tax-payer funded debit cards being used to pay for “lavish hotels, furnishings and booze” .

There were even reports of vegan ice cream in Uruguay, hampers from Fortnum and Mason and aqua tots swimming lessons in Panama !

Yet they’re always asking for more.

And the better you do – the more they take.

Today, under a Tory government, our tax burden is at a 70-year high.

Surely enough is enough?

You work hard, you want to make something of your life so that when you depart you can leave something to help your kids.

Yet before you’re even cold in the ground, the government are ready to take a cut.

All thanks to the most hated in the UK.

A recent poll suggests 72% of us are against Inheritance Tax (IHT) .

That’s because it’s a double whammy.

It’s money you have already paid tax on.

As one of those polled tweeted:

“The Government has spent more than it earns in 39 out of the last 45 years… maybe if they controlled their spending better we wouldn’t need to be taxed so much.”

Now, you might think that Inheritance Tax doesn’t apply to you.

Surely, it’s just a tax for the super-rich.

You imagine ‘death duties’ are something only owners of huge country estates have to face…

A tax that can wipe out substantial family wealth – in under six months.

A plotline for Downton Abbey perhaps, hardly something that will clobber you.

After all, back in 2007, didn’t the then shadow chancellor Mr Osborne pledge to raise the Inheritance Tax threshold to £1m?

That would have meant only millionaires would pay the levy under the Tories. 

This is not the case today.

You only need assets of £325K to start being hit by Inheritance Tax.

As a nation we are paying more death duties than ever before.

According to Money Week:

“The Treasury is receiving record sums in IHT payments, with latest figures showing the tax grab is up by 38% since 2020.” 

Last year, Inheritance Tax hit more than 41,000 grieving families.

Back in the 2009/10 tax year, the taxman raked in £2.4bn in Inheritance Tax receipts.

Since then it has more than doubled to £7.1bn.

You see, rapidly rising house prices has pushed more and more homeowners into the IHT trap – without many of them realising it.

And, according to estimates from the Institute of Economic Affairs think tank, that number could soar again by 45% within just a decade…

Which means around 60,000 estates could face the tax by 2033.  

Now, consider yourself for a moment.

Tot up your savings, premium bonds, ISAs, pension plans and shares… then add in the value of your house.

My guess is your assets will stack up to much more than £325,000.

Not much, is it?

Kevin Pigden, who is 77 and lives in Colchester, fears Inheritance Tax is preventing him from selling his home and moving closer to his family in Sheffield.

He told the Daily Telegraph recently:

“I’ve worked since the age of 15, saving along the way and hoping to help my family. I live in a flat with a value of around £500,000 with savings of approximately £400,000 with a hefty Inheritance Tax bill looming.”

He worries about losing tax relief available for homes worth at least £500,000 if he downsizes.

“I’m trapped in my home, not wanting my family to lose the £175,000 allowance. This means I can’t move nearer to my son in Sheffield and I’m trapped in Essex. Totally unfair.”

Anyone with assets valued at over £325,000 are liable to a whopping 40% tax rate. That's £40,000 for every £100,000 of assets - straight to the taxman.

Money you have spent a lifetime building. The long hours at work, the effort and sacrifice…

Inheritance Tax attacks your loved ones AFTER you’ve passed away, when you’re powerless to help them.

In the worst-case scenario, it could leave those you care about struggling for money.

And the pain of losing a loved one and being faced with a potentially mighty tax bill doesn’t end there – the taxman wants this money fast.

He doesn’t care if those you leave behind are forced to sell the family home… he’ll only wait 6 months for his money – if it’s not paid by then he’ll start adding on interest.

Take Kathryn Price from Tyne and Wear. Her father was faced with a bureaucratic nightmare when his mother died two years ago.

“My dad recently had to sort out my grandmother’s estate…

“HMRC demanded an enormous amount of money up front - but most of the money was in shares, which were inflated at the time of death. Soon after, many of these dropped significantly in price, especially the one which was the biggest part of the estate…

“Thing is, a large part of this money overall has been allocated to family members – two of whom have significant learning disabilities. Two teenagers, my daughter and my nephew, who will never be able to earn any money to speak about. Life is never a level playing field – but is this money really better in the hands of a wasteful, profligate government, or in the hands of those who will be lovingly caring for disabled relatives for the rest of their lives.”

Which is why I am writing to you today.

You don’t have to put your family through this pain.

You can save them a lot of grief and money at what will be a stressful and emotional time anyway.

Did you know that with a bit of planning today, you can legally avoid a huge amount of IHT liability and let those you wish to benefit most from your legacy keep what’s rightfully theirs.

You see, with some sound planning, Inheritance Tax is largely a voluntary tax.

In our special report – Eight Legal Ways To Sidestep Inheritance Tax - you'll learn various methods you need to know about to help defend your assets against IHT.

You’ll learn methods of side stepping inheritance tax including gifts, transfers, trusts and various other tax breaks HMRC allows.

Within days of receiving the report and following its precise instructions, you could have started to dramatically reduce your tax burden and virtually eliminate all of your IHT liability.

I'll give you full details in a moment.

But first consider this...

Let's be clear from the start.    

You're not doing anything wrong, unethical or illegal by using the tactics you'll find in this report.

You're not illegally evading tax. You'll be using legitimate avoidance techniques. In fact, the HM Revenue and Customs treats IHT as a 'soft tax' and permits many loopholes and exemptions.

And don't forget the most important point of all...

There's nothing wrong with keeping what's rightfully yours!

As I’ve said: you've already paid tax once - do you really want to pay TWICE?

Let’s just say you’re a basic-rate taxpayer, what you’ll pay in tax accounts for around a third of the money you earn.

Around 20% is taken from your income, through National Insurance and PAYE.

But then you get hit with the indirect taxes.

Your council tax likely went up in April.

Yet there still seem to be a lot of potholes, just waiting to shred your car tyres.

And you’ve had to fill up your car more regularly recently, because the train strikes mean you need to drive to work.

More than half of the cost of a litre of fuel is tax - with 36% fuel duty and another 17% of the cost being VAT. 

Maybe you like to treat yourself to a bottle of wine to go with dinner (because restaurant prices have soared thanks to inflation.

Well, courtesy of Chancellor Hunt, it went up by 20% in the budget, the largest hike in wine duty since 1975.

And so it goes on…

Which begs the question: why should you pay all over again, just because you've worked hard and been successful in life? Why deprive your family and those who you would like your assets to go to?

The good news is you don't have to.

You can employ legal exemptions and loopholes to virtually eliminate all of your IHT liability.

So why not do something about it now?

With my report you can immediately take charge of the future of your estate and ensure that your wealth is passed on to the people and organisations YOU want. 

You will discover Eight Legal Ways To Sidestep Inheritance Tax.

  • For example, if you are sick of the city rat race; you might be interested in knowing how you can hang up your tie, return to nature – and reduce your tax…
  • How, if you are not careful, you could be charged IHT pre-emptively, even though you haven’t died yet!
  • And why it pays to be generous when giving your other half gifts

Look, I am not going to list them all here.

You can download the report later and read at your leisure.

It will detail the eight moves you can make – and most importantly, explain any risks that could be involved with each move.

But you will learn various loopholes, exemptions and little-known tricks HM Revenue and Customs will allow for legally slashing your tax burden.

We'll show you how to dramatically reduce your Inheritance Tax Liability.

But first let me explain who we are and why we are doing this…

The power of private information

Nick Hubble,
Editor and financial strategist

My name is Nick Hubble.

I’m a writer, author and investor...

And I represent a private club of elite financial experts and advisors who for 85 years now have been helping private British investors protect and grow their wealth.

The club exists for one reason: to study the financial, political and economic world, to understand how that is going to affect private investors, and to share our insight with people like you. People the system foolishly looks down on or ignores.

In the past, our organisation has included members of the House of Lords, ex MI5 operatives, multi-millionaire businessmen, former Times editor Lord William Rees-Mogg…

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Today the team includes a private wealth guru with close to $1 billion of assets under his management… plus the most influential British politician of the last 50 years. You’ll meet them both shortly.

We do not publish our work in the City. Nor do we want to.

(I actually started my career as an intern at Goldman Sachs during the financial crisis of 2008. There, I saw first-hand how badly the system was rigged in favour of the big City insiders and corporate players… and how poorly the ordinary investor was treated.)

Instead, we share our research through a little-known, but widely-circulated publication I now edit, called The Fleet Street Letter

The Fleet Street Letter is Britain’s longest-running investment newsletter.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Since its foundation over eight decades ago, it has established an incredible track record for helping its readers pinpoint and profit from ‘the news behind the news’ – the threats and opportunities you won’t find published in the mainstream media: until it is too late.

Let me highlight just a few:

In 1938, the founding editor of The Fleet Street Letter, Patrick Maitland, 17th Earl of Lauderdale, spent several weeks in Rome, gathering intelligence on Fascist movements there. He'd looked into troop movements in Germany. He'd studied Central Power armament plans. And he'd overlaid this against the backdrop of political and economic tension in Europe.

This enabled him to share an incredibly valuable insight with Fleet Street Letter readers: Germany would make war, but not before September 1939.

Germany invaded Poland on 2nd September, 1939.

Maitland looked at the ‘news behind the news’. And found a ‘truth’ that went completely against the official line that ‘appeasement’ would work.

85 years of wealth-building secrets

This is what The Fleet Street Letter seeks to do in all its research.

Remember “Black Monday” in October 1987, when thousands of investors saw their savings wiped out?

It was one of the worst crashes British investors have ever had to endure.

Yet for our select group of investors, the crash came as no surprise…

They’d been put ‘on guard’ over 5 months earlier – in a discreet and timely warning.

When the markets panicked about a Chinese invasion of Taiwan in March 1995, this group of investors were informed that a major opportunity had opened up for them.

Over the next 18 months, the Taiwanese market more than doubled.

Let me give you another example.

In his 1988 book, The Great Reckoning, our former Editor in Chief, the late Lord William Rees Mogg, identified that New York – particularly the financial markets there – was almost unguarded and open to attack. He based this on a detailed study of the infrastructure, arms movements inside the U.S.A, plus the political situation in the Middle East.

He was right. Twice. The World Trade Centres were attacked in 1994… and 2001.

None of this involves crystal ball gazing. That's impossible. We prefer to call it professional forecasting. Put simply, understanding that markets don't move at random. They respond to deep changes in the world.

A deep knowledge of history is vital. So is a wide network of contacts. And the willingness to think beyond the present and extrapolate today's trends into the future.

At The Fleet Street Letter, we've always been of the opinion that risk cannot be avoided… but it can be understood. And understanding the risks you're taking when you make an investment is vital to succeeding.

Risk is a part of investing. It's something The Fleet Street Letter has never – and will never – ignore.

Speaking of risk…

In September 1999, while the rest of the world was piling into tech stocks, our readers received another warning: ‘CRASH IMMINENT’.

In 2008, when ill-informed investors were still blindly investing in the FTSE 100, this small circle of investors were discreetly warned that “the City’s dream run is about to end… and it could trigger our worst recession in 35 years.”

Five and a half months later Lehman Brothers collapsed and the entire financial sector buckled.

You don’t need me to tell you how important that kind of information was.

And in recent years, you would also have been warned – ahead of time a banking collapse in Italy…

Readers were shown how to shelter their wealth before it triggered one of the biggest drops in UK stocks in a decade - the worst correction in financial markets since 2008.

In 2020 we posed the question: “Is the green bubble little more than ‘investing on thin ice’?”– a year before green stocks tanked.

In 2021, research from our company warned investors that soaring inflation was on the cards – when the Bank of England was still insisting it would stay at 2%... then, at worst, transitory.

We subsequently highlighted the drive for value and dividend stocks… and pointed to the bonds crisis well ahead of Liz Truss’s controversial budget…

Readers have been advised on the delusion of net zero… made aware of the real danger posed by Central Bank Digital Currencies (and what you can do about it)… and the smart way to approach investing in Artificial Intelligence.

There will be plenty more predictions to come.

Our mission at The Fleet Street Letter is very simple.

  • Help you understand what’s coming next in the world of money and markets
  • Show you what that means for you, your money and your family
  • And share specific investment recommendations to help you protect yourself or profit

We want to arm you with the intelligence and insights to stay one step ahead of the big financial and geopolitical trends shaping your world…

And to show you what to actually DO with your money in light of those trends.

Which brings me to today and the future…

And the first rule of investing: “Never lose money.”

That’s according to Warren Buffet.

Given the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway is considered one of the best investors of all time, with a net worth of some $114 billion in June of this year, it’s a rule worth following.

So, let’s start with: why pay more tax than you legally need to?

As the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson once said:

“Inheritance Tax is a voluntary tax – you can either do nothing and volunteer (for your beneficiaries) to pay it, or you can take steps to avoid it” .

Which is why we have put together this special report:

Eight Legal Ways To Sidestep Inheritance Tax.

As we’ve already said: you’re taxed on your income.

The companies you invest in pay taxes on their profits.

Then you pay taxes on their dividends or capital gains.

Next you’re taxed with VAT when you spend what’s left.

Even in death you cannot escape tax, when your inheritance is taxed too.

This report is designed to help you get some of your money back, legally.

And it is yours to download, FREE of charge, when you take up my offer to join The Fleet Street Letter today.

When you do, I will also send you another special report.

In GOLD we trust…

Throughout human history, there have been thousands of currencies issued by governments.

To my knowledge, they’ve all gone to zero in the end.

But gold has been seen as currency across the globe for more than 5,000 years. 

Gold is the most stable form of money the world has ever known.

Even the issuers of fiat currency, central banks, are big buyers of the precious metal. It’s almost as if they don’t trust themselves. And their appetite for gold in 2022 rose 150%... as investors in stocks and bonds faced one of the worst years in investing history.

As you and I cope with persistent inflation, the UK’s cost of living crisis and geo-political uncertainty on a global scale…

Gold prices are heading higher as investors pile in, worried about slowing economies, rising credit stress and geopolitical risks.

So, it’s worth looking at this ancient form of REAL money as part of your wealth protection – and when you invest in it ‘correctly’, the taxman won’t get his hands on any profit you see.

Just look at the last time gold took off – when the world faced inflation, an energy crisis and geo-political turmoil:

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

There’s absolutely no guarantee this will happen again.

But it is worth understanding when it has happened in the past and therefore why it might again in the future.

That’s why I want to send you: Gold 101: the unspoken advantages of a UK gold investor. 

Open up your copy and you’ll get answers to questions like these:

How much should you invest in gold and other precious metals?

Where can you buy it?

How do you store it safely?

What kinds of bullion and coins should you be looking to buy?

Again, I will send you this report when you take up my invitation to a year’s subscription of The Fleet Street Letter…

And join a long list of distinguished members dating back to 1938. 

You see, right now it’s more crucial than ever that you have experienced, credible and knowledgeable financial advice and ideas.

Which is why when you join you will also be granted full access to a portfolio of stocks. A mix of long-term strategic positions and shorter-term tactical trades that highlights how you can use your new understanding of the markets to join the dots and gain a practical advantage.

What’s more, an investment portfolio of trading ideas, stock picks and other wealth-building moves is put together for you by a global strategist, trader and wealth-builder with an unparalleled track record...

Meet your own $1 BILLION wealth manager

Let me introduce you to Eoin Treacy…

You may well have seen him on CNBC, Bloomberg TV, CNN, NDTV Profit or Reuters India. (He has also been interviewed on the BBC World Service, Ireland’s TodayFM and FinancialSense Online). 

That’s because Eoin is an award-winning investor with close to $1 BILLION in assets under management.

He currently advises four different $100m funds… manages the money of some of Asia and the Middle East’s wealthiest families… and other clients include sovereign wealth and pension funds.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

He is also a highly successful gold trader whose advice would have helped investors position themselves ahead of the last gold bull market. Eoin got in very early – in 2003. He then called the top at the very peak – in 2012 - when gold had rocketed 530% over the 13 years… the kind of price surge that turns just £500 into nearly £2,700 - or £10K into £53K.

And has also personally traded bitcoin, the Nikkei and the Hang Seng to achieve profits of 9,000 points…

Most impressive of all, this much sought-after global strategist and wealth manager is the guy other fund managers and traders go to help improve and hone their investment methods.

He still runs that two-day seminar in cities around the world (London, most recently)…

In fact, there are several funds that don’t let their traders on the trading floor until they’ve been coached by Eoin.

In short, he has a long track record of helping the ultra-rich – and the man on the street – get into some terrific stock market opportunities. And now his door will be open to you…

Because Eoin’s our Investment Director… the man who turns our INSIGHTS into ACTIONS you can take with your money.

And when it comes to those geo-political insights, you have access to our other ‘trump card’…

Our ‘man on the inside’ when it comes to the corridors of power, Nigel Farage. As he says:

“It's more important than EVER to take back control of your money”

Nigel’s a big part of our team… bringing his decades of experience helping predict (and indeed shape) the political trends that have turned our world on its head.

He also understands the world of finance.

His grandfather and father worked in the City. And, having set up an investment club at school, Nigel skipped university and followed in their footsteps. Aged 18, he joined the world of institutional trading at the London Metal Exchange. First, with the American commodity operation at Drexel Burnham Lambert… then Credit Lyonnais, Refco and Natexis Metals.

As a result, Nigel has incredible connections… amazing experience… and above all, he’s willing to say and predict things that the elite may scoff at… until they come true.

Together, they make an impressive team.

And now you can have them working for you because…

Today I’m inviting you to take up one-year special offer to The Fleet Street Letter

Not only will you receive both the two reports, I’ve already mentioned – Eight Ways To Legally Sidestep Inheritance Tax and Gold 101: the unspoken advantages of a UK gold investor… 

You’ll also get:

  • 12 issues of The Fleet Street Letter a year.

The financial world moves fast. New trends and threats develop. Old ones die. There’s no one single ‘set and forget’ approach you can take to thrive in the modern financial world.

That’s why our monthly newsletters are so valuable.

They’re your way of staying up to date with the latest thinking, ideas, threats and opportunities.

That might be a new risk developing… a new moneymaking opportunity… a new position for your portfolio. It depends what’s happening in the world.

But whatever IS going on… we’ll be there, on your side and in your corner.

Then you’ll get:

  • Full access to the The Fleet Street Letter portfolio

This is what REALLY sets our work apart from the mainstream.

We’re not just here to explain what’s happening.

We translate that into an entire portfolio of investment ideas you can go out and buy to turn that knowledge into action.

Generally speaking, the recommendations we share with you will involve the stock market. That involves risk – as all investing does.

Some of our recommendations may be listed abroad. That involves foreign currency risk as stocks listed overseas may have the added risk of negative forex movements.

Every recommendation is for your risk capital only – that’s money you can afford to lose.

We’ll explain this to you clearly with every new recommendation.

In fact, EVERY SINGLE idea we share with you will contain a full write up of the risks, the potential rewards, everything.

That’s huge.

And you have already read about your investment director Eoin Treacy’s impressive credentials.

Think about it.

You can go pay £700 for a subscription to The Financial Times...

But NOWHERE in those pages of news will you find a single investment recommendation.

It’s all fluff. All noise. It doesn’t matter how many PhDs the editorial teams have. They’re not sharing anything you can ACT ON.

The Fleet Street Letter is different.

You’ll walk away from almost every issue with a fully researched investment recommendation that ties into our worldview.

And here’s the crazy part: though I’d argue we offer far more value, the cost of our work is a FRACTION of the £700 you’d pay for a year of The FT.

In fact, one year of The Fleet Street Letter costs just £249.

That’s it.

The equivalent cost of a cup of coffee a day.

That’s all you pay for a team of world class financial analyst sharing their most valuable ideas AND investment recommendations.

Why so cheap?

Our business only really works when we have a committed, engaged readership that’s willing to stick around long term.

But we know that you’re probably sceptical about people who make you promises on the internet.

And we know you want to actually SEE our research before making up your mind.

So we do two things:

  • We make sure some of our best research is priced WAY below its ‘true’ value… so that any investor or saver can afford it. At £249, that’s certainly true of The Fleet Street Letter.
  • We offer a complete 30-day money back guarantee on that subscription fee. Anything you pay today is fully refundable for 30 days. So if you’re not delighted with the analysis, ideas and recommendations you’re getting, you can get a full refund.

That’s a fair deal.

And it puts the pressure where it should be – on ME and the team to deliver world class research.

Something our many readers do seem to think we do:

 “I know I am with an excellent group of experts giving advice for me to then reflect and make my own decisions.  I also appreciate and understand the relevance of the historical perspective and intellect documented of previous major historical events and their overall relevance on today's world.  New Investors most certainly try it. It provides independent, forthright information - a sound basis for investment.”

Barbara Ann Facer

“It's well written. It's easy to understand. It's not over adventurous and it talks sense”

John Seaman

Of all your titles over about 15 years The Fleet Street Letter is my favourite.  It does the research that I'd never have time for.”

Colin Byatt

Ian Carrington

“The Fleet Street Letter often provides clear insightful analysis of what is going on behind the scenes in both the political and economic arenas. This is critical information for anybody who wishes to successfully navigate the tricky investment waters of today. Keep up the good work and thank you to all the team”

Glyn Williams

Important Risk Warning:

Advice in The Fleet Street Letter does not constitute a personal recommendation. Any advice should be considered in relation to your own circumstances. Before investing you should consider carefully the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.  

General - Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid. 

Overseas shares - Some recommendations may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Any dividends will be taxed at source in the country of issue. 

Funds – Fund performance relies on the performance of the underlying investments, and there is counterparty default risk which could result in a loss not represented by the underlying investment.  

Bonds – Investing in bonds carries interest rate risk. A bondholder has committed to receiving a fixed rate of return for a fixed period. If the market interest rate rises from the date of the bond's purchase, the bond's price will fall. There is also the risk that the bond issuer could default on their obligations to pay interest as scheduled, or to repay capital at the maturity of the bond. 

Taxation – Profits from share dealing, including both capital gains and dividends, are subject to capital gains tax and income tax respectively. Interest received from bonds is subject to income tax. 

Capital gains from commodities are subject to capital gains tax. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate certain activities, including the buying and selling of commodities such as gold, and investments in cryptocurrencies. This means that you will not have the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
