Example? I'm a UK taxpayer and as far as I know you can still do basically that. You can also avoid inheritance tax is you buy a farm to borrow against rather than crypto. See J Clarkson for example.

>He bought it mainly because you don’t pay death duties on land. “That’s the critical thing. So rather than just have money in the bank, and get a statement with numbers written on it that gives no one any pleasure at all, you could derive a great deal of pleasure and pass it on to your children.”

It seems that Clarkson is trying to take advantage of https://www.gov.uk/guidance/agricultural-relief-on-inheritan... which is a "family farm" exemption; you absolutely do pay inheritance tax on land in general.


The loans thing you linked to is a bit of a different thing I think - "People who use these schemes have their salary paid in loans, instead of being paid in the usual way."

Just borrowing against assets that have gone up is different and pretty normal.
