    *This is a repost*

    Below are the relevant parts of the question which I am doing wrong.

    My question is for gift on “17 January 2009? why they used “323,000” rather “336000” which is actually gift amount given in question?

    ——————————————————————————————–
    QUESTION – 28 Artem

    Artem died on 15 December 2013. During his lifetime he made the following cash gifts:

    Date Donee £
    10 December 2005 Daughter 65,000
    17 January 2009 Trust (Artem paid the lHT) 336,000
    15 February 2010 Nephew 200
    18 August 2010 Sister 49,000

    Required

    (a) Explain the inheritance tax implications of these gifts during Artem‘s lifetime and compute any lifetime inheritance tax payable.

    Nil rate bands
    2005/06 £275,000
    2008/09 £312,000
    2009/10 onwards £325,000

    BPP ANSWER:

    17 January 2009

    The first £6,000 of this transfer is an exempt transfer because of the annual exemptions for 2008/09 and 2007/08.

    The remaining £(323,000 – 6,000) = 317,000 Is a chargeable lifetime transfer because it is not a transfer to another individual.

    This Is the first chargeable transfer that Artem makes and so the nil rate band is available in full.

    The inheritance tax on this transfer ls: 317.000

    Net transfer of value (Artem pays lHT)
    IHT £312,000 x 0% = Nil
    £5,000 x 20/80 = 1.250

    Total IHT = 1 .250

    Everything is so confusing in this answer. Y did they use 323000. Secondly it states remaining 323000 less 6000. Y either its remaining or they used 6000 twice. Y?
