IHTM14132 - Specific lifetime exemptions: order in which exemptions apply


Where several lifetime-only exemptions may be relevant

  • apply IHTA84/S21, normal expenditure out of income ( IHTM14231) exemption, first on a purely factual basis, without regard to any other exemption, limited or unlimited
  • apply IHTA84/S19, the annual exemption ( IHTM14141), last after all the other exemptions.

If the taxpayer asks you to adopt a different order of application of the exemptions, refer the case to your manager.
