Where it appears from Section 6 of the Val 70 (Settlements) or
otherwise that the value of the shares will not take the total
chargeable value over the tax threshold, and the tax claim relates
to a periodic charge or ten-year anniversary charge, valuers should
notify the Non-Death Compliance Team of the position and enquire
whether negotiations may be discontinued.
See also this chapter at
SVM108060 concerning Risk Assessment
procedures for 10 year Relevant Property Trust Charges.
Sub-threshold cases involving proportionate charges,
however, must still be fully considered where there is a retained
shareholding in the company (see Section 2 of the Val 70) or
information on the SAV file of other assets retained in the
settlement.
If, however, there is no mention of retained assets, valuers
should notify the Non Death Compliance Team and enquire whether
there are other assets retained in the settlement and, if not,
whether negotiations may be closed on the sub threshold basis.
