INHERITANCE TAX
Rates of tax
IHT is payable once a person’s cumulative chargeable transfers over a seven-year period exceed a nil rate band. For the tax year 2012–13 the nil rate band is £325,000, and for previous years it has been as follows:
The rate of IHT payable as a result of a person’s death is 40%. This is the rate that is charged on a person’s estate at death, on PETs that become chargeable as a result of death within seven years, and is also the rate used to see if any additional tax is payable on CLTs made within seven years of death.
The rate of IHT payable on CLTs at the time they are made is 20% (half the death rate). This is the lifetime rate.
The tax rates information that will be given in the tax rates and allowances section of the June and December 2013 exam papers is as follows:
Where nil rate bands are required for previous years then these will be given to you within the question.

On 12 November 2009 he had made a gift of £400,000 to a trust. This figure is after deducting available exemptions. The trust paid the IHT arising from the gift.
The nil rate band for the tax year 2009–10 is £325,000.
