I make regular monthly payments to a Non-Profit & Charitable Organization based in the Netherlands is this regarded as a gift when calculating inheritance tax

[pawncob]

Gifts to charities are exempt from Inheritance Tax (‘IHT’), whether they are made during a person’s lifetime or on death by their Will.

The charitable exemption only applies to organisations which are charitable under UK law. It is very unlikely that a Dutch organisation would meet the criteria. If they did, they would probably appear on the Charity Commission register and advertise their UK reg charity number on their website.

So yes, it would be treated as any other gift - it is possible it may qualify for the exemption for regular gifts made out of excess income but that would require meeting all the criteria there.
