    Illustration 8
    Kay Babb made a chargeable transfer into a trust of £400,000 in June 2012. She has made no previous lifetime transfers. The nil rate
    band in the 2012/13 tax year was £325,000.
    Compute the amount of IHT payable, assuming firstly the trustees paid any IHT due, and then that Kay paid any IHT due.
    Lifetime Transfers Chargeable When Made
    £ Gross Transfers IHT
    CLT 400,000 400,000 15,000
    325,000 @ Nil = Nil
    75,000 @ 20% = 15,000
    If Kay paid the tax the frst £325,000 is still within the nil rate band but the excess £75,000 is now taxed at 25%. This tax is then added
    to the £400,000 to establish the gross amount of the gift:
    CLT 400,000 418,750 18,750
    (75,000 x 25% = 18,750)

    In the above illustration I don’t understand where the 25% comes from and how you calculated it.

    Thank you anon39 for your assistance here to Janis – if Janis you refer back to the note immediately preceding this example – the final paragraph of section 6 on page 142 explains that the net rate of 25% is applied when the DONOR pays any tax due on a CLT

    Thank you so much – I hit a blank with this and now that you have explained it it makes sense.
