IHTM31775 - CTDs: Estate Duty


Estate Duty is not a scheduled liability and, therefore, cannot be satisfied using a CTD. If the taxpayer wishes to satisfy an Estate Duty claim from a CTD, the CTD has to be encashed as for the IHT interest charge ( IHTM31774). The encashment date for the CTD is either


  • the due date of the Duty - this will be the case if the CTD is dated prior to the due date of the Duty

or


  • the date of the CTD - this will be the case if the CTD is dated after the due date of the Duty.

In either case, send to CTD Team along with the completed assessment,


  • the completed tear-off slip FAO826/1

or


  • the original CTD and letter which accompanied it, if it is in your possession. If it is not please send a memo stating that the taxpayer wishes to use the CTD against an Estate Duty liability and the date of encashment required.
