IHTM33162 - Purchases: formula used for adjusting the sale price


The adjustment to the sale price ( IHTM33072) is calculated by using the formula

Ax (D – S)
B

where

A  is the aggregate purchase price of all interests purchased

B  is the aggregate sale price (after any adjustments for changes in the interest or underlying land ( IHTM33121), statutory compensation received ( IHTM33130), leases ( IHTM33131) and valuations with reference to other interests in land ( IHTM33132) have been made, IHTA84/SS193 -195) of all of the interests sold.

D  is the value on death ( IHTM33100) of the interest sold.

S  is the sale price (after any of the adjustments also referred to at B above have been made under IHTA84/Ss193 -196) of the interest sold.

Where (D – S) is positive (as in the case of Blackacre in the example at ( IHTM33163), the adjustment takes the form of an addition to the sale price.

Where (D – S) is negative (as in the case of Whiteacre in the example at ( IHTM33163), the adjustment takes the form of a deduction from the sale price.
