IHTM31245 - Settlement cases: raising an assessment


Ensure that the Estate Details window is open and then click on Raise in the Assessment menu. The Calculation of Rate Chargeable window will appear.

If the settlor’s previous lifetime cumulative transfer (PLCT) needs to be taken into account, include it in the appropriate box.

Select the rate of charge by selecting statutory reference section 66, 67, 68 or 69 from the drop down menu.

Click on the raise button to continue. NIOP ( IHTM31012) and IOP assessments raise in the same way as for death estates ( IHTM31181), except for the additional RAT button for reduction charges.

Reduction charges

Press the RAT button to display the Reduction Charges window. This displays any deductions against tax that COMPASS has calculated automatically based on the information already on COMPASS. The deductions will be in respect of the complete quarters that the property subject to the charge was not relevant property.

If the information is not correct, cancel the assessment and go back into the COMPASS record to amend the underlying information.

Issue

Issue ( IHTM31210), print and pay ( IHTM31211) the assessments as you would for a death estate.
