About this lesson
This video walks you through the complete IHT calculation process: assessing each lifetime transfer for exemptions and reliefs, determining what becomes chargeable on death, applying taper relief, and identifying who pays what and when. You'll see how to handle pets and CLTs differently, manage the nil rate band across seven years, and calculate the final tax bills for both lifetime gifts and the death estate. This is essential exam technique for TX and ATX papers, combining exemptions, reliefs, and the critical seven-year rule into a single integrated problem.
