    Included in the death estate:

    – the share of the racehorse (is the SHARE valued at £150,000, or is the RACEHORSE valued at £150,000)?

    – the cash of £40,000

    – the main residence less the mortgage, so £(875,000 – 500,000) = £375,000

    So none of the options fit, as depending on the racehorse, the answer is either £(150,000 + 40,000 + 375,000) = £565,000 or £150,000 x 50% = £75,000, plus £40,000, plus £375,000 = £490,000.

    The RNRB is an extra amount of the death estate taxed at 0%, it is not deducted against the value of the property.

    So if the death estate is valued at £800,000 with the full RNRB and NRB available, then the IHT would effectively be:

    £175,000 (RNRB) x 0%
    £325,000 (NRB) x 0%
    £300,000 x 40% = £120,000

    Total £800,000, but some taxed at 0% and some taxed at 40%.
