IHTM31013 - Assessment principles: apportioning the tax charge


To ascertain the correct amount of tax to pay on a chargeable occasion you will prepare an assessment, or several assessments.

The calculation of tax may be broken down into several parts. You will need to prepare a separate assessment for each different assessment group ( IHTM31012) at each Entry ( IHTM31011).

Example
