Delivery of account and payment of tax
21.Paragraph 5(1) adds a new paragraph (ad) to subsection 216(6) of IHTA. The effect of paragraph (ad) is that trustees of settlements on which tax is chargeable under Chapter 3 of Part 3 of IHTA, must deliver the IHT account six months after the end of the month in which the chargeable event occurs.
22.Paragraph 5(2) adds a new subsection (3C) to section 226 of IHTA. The effect of subsection (3C) is that the due date for payment of tax chargeable under Chapter 3 of Part 3 of IHTA 1984, is six months after the end of the month in which the chargeable transfer is made. Subsection (3C) does not affect the provision at section 226(3B) which sets out the payment date where a settlor dies within seven years of a transfer and additional liability arises under Chapter 3 of Part 3 IHTA.
23.Paragraph 5(3) amends section 233 IHTA (interest on unpaid tax) to bring it into line with the new payment date.
24.Paragraph 5(4) provides for the changes to apply to tax charges arising on or after 6 April 2014.
