IHTM22054 - Calculating QSR: increase in the deceased's estate


The last figure you need for your QSR ( IHTM22041) calculation is the amount by which the earlier chargeable transfer ( IHTM04027) increased your deceased's estate. In general this means the net value after tax of the property that became the deceased's as a result of the earlier chargeable transfer.

Where the earlier transfer was on death read the Will carefully to ascertain the deceased’s entitlement. Check that the deceased's benefits have not been altered by any codicil or post- death change in distribution within IHTA84/S142 -147.

Whether the earlier transfer was lifetime or death, note the burden of the tax ( IHTM22071) on the chargeable transfer.

When you have established what the deceased was entitled to, you then have to quantify it ( IHTM22061).
