(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Principal Regulations (S.I. 1981/881) as amended by the Inheritance Tax (Delivery of Accounts) (Scotland) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1128) dispensed with the need to deliver an account for the purposes of inheritance tax where (subject to specified exceptions) the value of a deceased's estate did not exceed £70,000 and where the deceased died on or after 1st April 1987. These Regulations increase that limit to £100,000 in respect of deaths on or after 1st April 1989. These Regulations also provide that up to £15,000 of value in respect of property situated outside the United Kingdom may be included in the £100,000 limit without losing "excepted estate" status.
1984 c. 51. By virtue of section 100(1) and (2) of the Finance Act 1986 (c. 41) on and after 25th July 1986 the Capital Transfer Tax Act 1984 may be cited as the Inheritance Tax Act 1984, and any reference in that Act to capital transfer tax is to have effect as a reference to inheritance tax, except where the reference relates to a liability arising before 25th July 1986.
