IHTM14801 - Investigation issues: introduction


You will consider many investigation issues when you review the IHT403 or IHT100, and again when you receive replies to your enquiries. ( IHTM14023)

In addition to these you need to be alert to the possibility of omitted transfers ( IHTM14802), and also possible avoidance tactics such as associated operations ( IHTM14822) and transfers by close companies ( IHTM14851). You should also watch out for situations where part of the consideration for a disposition is not received until after a year from the disposition, or is outstanding at the date of death (future payments) ( IHTM14871).

You can find advice on these aspects in the following pages.

Advice on schemes to exploit annual exemptions is contained earlier in this section of the manual. ( IHTM14151)
