In this 3-hour seminar we will consider the main inheritance tax (IHT) charging and administrative provisions.

In this seminar we will consider the overall structure of the IHT charging regime, considering how a person’s death estate is taxed and how certain lifetime gifts are taxed. We will also consider allowances and reliefs and the rules on liability, burden and the timing of payments of inheritance tax.
Topics covered include:
Calculating IHT on death
The Nil Rate Band (NRB), the transferable NRB and the residence NRB.
Lifetime transfers: exempt transfers, potentially exempt transfers (PETS) and lifetime chargeable transfers (LCTs).
The effect of death on lifetime transfers.
Anti-avoidance provisions, in particular gifts with reservation of benefit.
Reliefs: the basic provisions of business property relief and agricultural property relief.
Liability and burden of payment
Time for payment of IHT.
