IHTM16021 - General procedure: incoming post


When a form IHT 100 ( IHTM10501) or letter notifying a settled property claim is received from the taxpayer or their agents it is passed to ICES for initial action ( IHTM07054).

If the IHT 100 is received pre-grant for an estate which will be tax-paying, and there is no reference on ALF ( IHTM03291) for the deceased, a file is created. If there is already a reference on ALF the IHT 100 is attached to the file.

The trustees can pay the IHT on the trust ( IHTM30172) before the grant is obtained if they wish, otherwise it must be paid by the due date ( IHTM30151).

On receipt of the file in PC&S/Compliance Group the IHT 100 is referred to the team caseworker for reviewing action ( IHTM14051).
