Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

What we know so far about changes to inheritance tax and capital gains tax
Inheritance Tax
The current 100% IHT relief on assets (including AIM investments) that qualify for Business Relief will continue until April 2026;
After April 2026:
100% Business Relief will continue to apply to the first £1m of qualifying business and agricultural assets (in addition to the current nil rate band worth up to £500k per individual) and, there after, IHT will apply at half the normal rate, effectively reducing to 20%. This change will apply to unlisted inheritance tax solutions and private family businesses.
For Business Relief qualifying companies listed on AIM, IHT will apply at the halved rate of 20% (irrespective of the size of investment);
Non-dom tax status will be abolished and assets owned by those resident in the UK will be subject to UK IHT from April 2025;
Inherited pension funds (i.e. from a deceased parent) will be within the scope of the deceased’s estate for IHT purposes from April 2027, rather than being exempt;
The current thresholds for IHT will be frozen at £325k (plus £175k if a residence forms part of the estate) for a further two years to 2030; and
A new digital platform will be introduced in 2028/2029 which will allow personal representatives to submit IHT returns electronically and manage the information and payments online.
Capital Gains Tax
The lower rate will increase from 10% to 18% (from the date of the Budget);
The higher rate will increase from 20% to 24% (from the date of the Budget); and
Business Asset Disposal Relief, (formally known as Entrepreneurs Relief), will apply at 14% with effect from April 2025 and 18% with effect from April 2026. This increases from the current flat rate of 10%.
Thank you.
