IHTM24170 – Lifetime transfers: Introduction


Except where otherwise stated, the instructions contained in IHTM24001 through to IHTM24167 apply to both death and lifetime transfers. However there are a number of additional considerations to take into account with lifetime transfers. These are

  • the extent of relief where the value transferred exceeds the value of the property transferred ( IHTM24174)
  • whether the property transferred satisfies the definition of agricultural property ( IHTM24030) may depend on whether it is considered in isolation or as part of the transferor’s estate as a whole ( IHTM24171)
  • additional conditions ( IHTM24172) that apply to lifetime transfers when calculating
    • the taxable value transferred by a PET ( IHTM04057)
    • the additional tax on other lifetime chargeable transfers payable by reason of the transferor’s death, and

special rules for charges under the GWR ( IHTM24200) provisions.
