When to use this form
Fill in this form to tell us about any gifts the deceased made
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.
Taper relief
Do not deduct taper relief on this form. Taper relief is only
available on the tax on gifts that both:

If Inheritance Tax is due on any of the gifts, the people who received them are liable to pay the tax due on them.
This is separate from the Inheritance Tax that may be due on the estate. A year after the date of death, the executors or
administrators of the deceased’s estate become jointly liable for the tax on the gifts.
We can only contact you about the gifts if the people who received them have authorised you to deal with us on their behalf.
