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.
