When to use this form

on or after 18 March 1986.
Do not tell us about any gifts where the total value was £3,000
or less in any tax year, small amounts of £250 or less or if the
gifts were made to a spouse or civil partner.
To work out the total value of the estate (on which tax is
charged) we may need to add the value of these gifts to the
value of the estate at the date of death.
