IHTM29120 - Calculating yield-straightforward cases with yield amendments only

Example 1

The following example is a straightforward example of a calculation where all the adjustments to be recorded are adjustments to yield

The deceased died on 15/6/2006. Under the will the house passes to the daughter (free of tax). Half of the residue is charity exempt.

IHT intervention leads to an uplift of £25,000 in the value of the chattels.

As initially assessed:

  Entry A
House+£350,000
Household & personal goods+£100,000
Other assets+£400,000
Less Charity exemption-£201,308
Tax=£145,477


As finally assessed:

  Entry A
House+£350,000
Household & personal goods+£100,000
Other assets+£400,000
Less Charity exemption-£213,073
Tax=£150,771


The difference in overall tax = £5,294


The yield adjustments are :

Increase/ Decrease


Entry AHousehold & personal goods+ £25,000
Entry ACharity Exemption- £11,765


Yield is calculated as 40% x (£25,000 - £11,765) = £5,294

Note

The initially assessed figures included a reduction to the exemption by way of a grossing calculation assessed and paid Pre-Grant. Any adjustments made Pre-Grant should be reported by FACET and not be included in the yield record. If this had not been handled in Pre-Grant, we would include the grossing adjustments on the yield record.
