This certificate is given under Inheritance Tax Act 1984 s239(2) or Finance Act 1975 sch.4 para.25 (2) or Finance Act 1894
s11(2) and does not itself constitute a determination of values of individual items for any other HM Revenue and Customs
purpose. In particular, the issue of the certificate does not necessarily mean that values have been ‘ascertained’ or that values
may be taken as market values for Capital Gains Tax within the provisions of section 274 and paragraph 9, schedule 11,
Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. This certificate is not valid in certain circumstances, such as in the case of fraud or
failure to disclose material facts or if further tax becomes payable as a result of an instrument of variation - see section 239 (4)
Inheritance Tax Act 1984.
