HMRC have redesigned and published their IHT100 suite of forms which are used to report
chargeable lifetime transfers by individuals and transfers by trusts.
Previously, a reportable transfer would require an IHT100 form and a
separate ‘event’ form depending on the nature of the transfer. The forms were
not intuitive and were multi-purpose reporting different charges, calculated in
different ways, on different bases, for different events. They were ill-suited
to reporting the events in a straightforward way.
The IHT100 form itself and the IHT100WS (the worksheet for calculating
the tax due) have now been deleted and their content integrated into each of
the redesigned event forms. Only an event form now needs to be completed along
with any relevant supplementary (D) forms.
Further changes include that the IHT100b form has been split into two;
there is now one form for a lifetime termination of a qualifying interest in
possession trust (IHT100b) and a different form for a termination on death
(IHT100b (death)). A new IHT100h has been introduced for assets leaving an
18-25 (s 71D) trust.
The new forms are a significant improvement and simplification of the
reporting for IHT events.
The old forms and schedules have been removed from the HMRC website but
will still be accepted by HMRC until 31 December 2024.
