IHTM29121 - Calculating yield – adjustments to yield and adjustments that are not to yield

Example 2 -Adjustments to yield, adjustments that are not to yield

The following example shows how to calculate the yield on a case where there are some adjustments that are adjustments to yield and some that are not.

The deceased died on 1/3/2008. The case is being worked in PC&S. We establish that the deceased’s share of a joint bank account is 100% when it was originally included at 50%. The DV agrees an increase in the value of the house of £100,000. The customer also voluntarily tells us about the sale of some household and personal goods at an increase and claims loss on sale relief.


As initially assessed:

  Entry A(NIOP) Entry A (IOP)Total
House  +£500,000 
Household & personal goods
+

£12,000



Quoted stocks and shares+£185,000   
Joint bank account+£27,000   
Tax=£52,473 £117,127£169,600


As finally assessed

  Entry A(NIOP) Entry A (IOP)Total
House  +£600,000 
Household & personal goods
+

£15,000



Quoted stocks & shares £185,000   
- Loss on sale relief £9,250   
Joint bank account £54,000   
Tax £63,132 £154,768£217,900


Difference in overall tax = £48,300

The yield adjustments are :

Increase/ Decrease


Entry A/IOPHouse+ £100,000
Entry A/NIOPBank account+ £27,000


Yield is calculated as 40% x (£100,000 + £27,000) = £50,800

We only record the amendments that give rise to yield. The yield is greater than the overall increase in tax. If we had not done intervention work the tax to pay on the estate would have actually reduced because of the volunteered amendments. In this case the work we did both counteracted the reduction and provided further tax to pay.
