IHT100

Postby umeshg1 » Fri Jun 18, 2021 4:49 pm

A trust was established 7 years ago. The Trustees now want to close the Trust and distribute £350,000 to various beneficiaries. Do the Trustees have to complete form IHT100

Thank you

It depends whether the value of the asset(s) were over the nil rate band (or possibly over £260k, being 80%) when they were transferred into the trust.

This assumes the assets all went in at the beginning and the settlor had not made any chargeable transfers in the 7 years preceding the transfer into trust.

If the value back then was < 260k then it is unlikely any reporting is necessary.

(this is because the exit charge at year 7 is calculated from the original value of the assets)

Accumulations of income will make the situation more complicated.
