INHERITANCE TAX

By this Order, made under the provisions of section 8 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 (formerly the Capital Transfer Tax Act 1984) a new Table of rate bands and rates is substituted in Schedule 1 to that Act for the Table which was substituted by the Finance Act 1986. The figures in the first and second columns of the new Table are the amounts specified in the Table in Schedule 1 to the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 (as so substituted) increased by the amount of the percentage increase (3.72%) in the retail prices index for December 1986 over that for December 1985. The figures are rounded upward to the nearest £1,000 in accordance with section 8(2). The “retail prices index” is defined in section 8(3) as “the general index of retail prices (for all items) published by the Department of Employment”. The retail prices index for December 1985 is 378.9 and for December 1986 393.0 (based on January 1974 as 100). (Table 6.4 of the Department of Employment Gazette, February 1987.)
