IHTM39049 - Closing a file: issue of IHT 30


Before you send a file to store, you should issue the appropriate closure letter; SL124A for death files or SL124B for settlement files. There is no equivalent letter for lifetime files, where you should issue one of SL31-33 as appropriate.

If the taxpayer has applied for a formal clearance certificate ( IHTM40001) you can issue the certificate under cover of a letter confirming your enquiries are complete.
