Changes due to coronavirus (COVID-19) measures
Due to measures put in place to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) HMRC has changed the way they deal with Inheritance Tax.
Until further notice, HMRC will accept forms IHT100 where there is a professional agent acting, and:
- the names and other personal details of the legal personal representatives or trustees are shown on the declaration page
- the account includes a clear and unambiguous statement from the agent to confirm that all the legal personal representatives or trustees have seen the account and have agreed to be bound by the declaration
The suggested wording for this statement is:
‘As the agent acting on their behalf, I confirm that all the people whose names appear on the declaration page of this Inheritance Tax Account have seen the Inheritance Tax Account and agreed to be bound by the declaration on page 8 of the IHT100’
Tell HMRC about any ‘chargeable events’, when Inheritance Tax is payable on a trust or gift using form IHT100 and any of the supplementary pages D31 to D40.
You will need to include the relevant ‘event’ form from the IHT100a to IHT100g series.
