<strong>Guide</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>completing</strong> <strong>your</strong> <strong>Inheritance</strong> <strong>Tax</strong> <strong>account</strong><br />
If you are claiming Agricultural Relief on a gift you must answer<br />
questions 17 <strong>to</strong> 20 <strong>to</strong> help us decide if the relief is due.<br />
Schedule IHT418<br />
Assets held in trust<br />
You must complete Schedule IHT418 if the deceased had an interest in<br />
possession and the trust is one of the following:<br />
• a trust that was set up before 22 March 2006 from which the deceased<br />
was entitled <strong>to</strong> benefit<br />
• an immediate post-death interest<br />
• a disabled person's interest<br />
• a transitional serial interest.<br />
All these interests are explained at pages 15 and 16 of this guide.<br />
If the deceased had a right <strong>to</strong> benefit from settled property where<br />
the assets are overseas, and the person who set up the trust was<br />
domiciled outside the UK when the trust was created, please answer<br />
questions 2 <strong>to</strong> 5 only.<br />
The trustees of the trust must give us full details of assets and liabilities<br />
that make up the trust and who must pay any <strong>Inheritance</strong> <strong>Tax</strong> that is due.<br />
However, we need <strong>to</strong> know the <strong>to</strong>tal net value of settled property <strong>to</strong> be<br />
included in the estate so that we can work out the <strong>to</strong>tal tax that is due. In<br />
certain circumstances the trustees will pay the tax at the same time as you<br />
apply for a grant. This may happen where the trustees and the personal<br />
representatives are the same people.<br />
If this applies here, please give full details of all the assets and liabilities on<br />
the Schedule IHT418 and send us a copy of the deed of trust. If the trustees<br />
and the personal representatives are the same people and you give us<br />
details of the settled property, we may ask for a formal <strong>account</strong> <strong>to</strong> be<br />
completed and signed by the trustees. We will only do this in exceptional<br />
circumstances.<br />
If the trustees and the personal representatives are different people or if<br />
you have only been able <strong>to</strong> give brief details on Schedule IHT418, we will<br />
ask the trustees <strong>to</strong> complete a separate <strong>account</strong>.<br />
If you have full details of the assets held in trust you can give us those<br />
details at boxes 8 and 13. If you need more space <strong>to</strong> list the assets,<br />
you can use the 'Any other information' box on page 4 of Schedule IHT418.<br />
Liabilities that relate <strong>to</strong> the assets can be shown in boxes 9 and 14.<br />
See page 72 of this guide for information about exemptions and reliefs.<br />
