There is no inheritance tax on the estate left to a married partner.
On the 6th April 2009 in the United Kingdom the Inheitance Tax threshold was £325,000 per person. Thus 40% tax would be payed on £675,000, giving a tax bill of £270,000.
However a man and wife can combine their threshold limit when passing their estate from one to the other then on to a relative. If this is done then when the second partner dies the threshold will be £650,000. Thus 40% tax would be payed on £350,000, giving a tax bill of £140,000.

Is the inheritance tax going to change in 2010?
I assume you mean the estate tax, not the inheritance tax. (There is a federal estate tax, but no federal inheritance tax.) The federal estate tax will be abolished in 2010. And (unless the law is changed) it will be reinstated in 2011 and the exclusion amount will drop from the $3.5 million in 2009 to $1 million in 2011. Note that this does not apply to state estate or inheritance taxes. Because of the craziness on the federal level, many states have been revising their estate taxes to decouple them from federal changes. ***Caution*** Before making any plans to die in 2010 in order to take advantage of the estate tax repeal, be aware that this situation is very fluid and the law could be changed.

Do I have to pay inheritance tax if it was passed from my father to me?
We do not have inheritance tax in the United States. We do have Estate Taxes. Estate taxes should be paid by the estate and not by the one who inherited property. Depending on what year the person dies, and what the value of the estate is at the time of death determines whether or not an Estate Tax Return must be filed and if such tax is due. You need to see a tax preparer qualified in such matters to determine if this type of return is needed to be filed or not.
