Property trusts
The information in HMRC’s IHT113 guide on filing and payment dates is incorrect for events arising on or after 6 April. When such a chargeable event arising on property trusts takes place, the date for filing the inheritance tax (IHT) return and paying the tax due has been changed to six months after the end of the month in which the charge arose. The change in the payment date will affect relevant property trusts where the charge to IHT arises between 5 April and 30 September.
