If you decide to leave a legacy to Reading School, we would be grateful if you could notify us by completing the Legacy Gift Form. This is not a requirement, but it does assist the School in its long-term financial planning. If you have already made your Will it is simple to add a codicil by downloading this form. When making a bequest in your Will, please note that the beneficiary should be the Reading School Foundation, Registered Charity No 294640.
Money left to Reading School Foundation is also exempt from inheritance tax and may help reduce the overall amount tax that must be paid on your estate.
Changes made to the UK Inheritance Tax law 2012 could benefit your primary beneficiaries: by leaving 10% or more of your estate to charity, the inheritance tax payable on your net estate reduces from 40% to 36%.
Legacies of all sizes are always appreciated and the School will never ask how much you have pledged, unless you wish to inform us so that the generosity of legacies can be recorded for annual reports and future planning.
For more information, or to discuss any aspect of this further in confidence, please email development@reading-school.co.uk or call 0118 901 5600 for any enquiries.
Making a Will is an important step, and it is recommended that you seek independent professional legal advice.
