    Hi

    I am confused about the rule regarding grossing up- in the study books it says 25% is what the donor pays but with the notes ACCA have got it only to gross up (20/80)

    Can anyone explain this to me?

    Thanks

    Assume:
    – A CLT of 300,000 after exemptions.
    – The donor pays IHT when made
    – Assume all NRB used

    Therefore:
    – IHT = 300,000 x 25% = 75,000
    – Gross = (300,000 + 75,000) = 375,000

    Or if 150,000 remains of NRB:
    Then IHT Liability:
    – 150,000 @ 0%
    – 150,000 @ 25% = 37,500
    – Gross = (300,000 + 37,500) = 337,500

    🙂

    thank you- does this apply to PET’s too? also the notes on IHT ACCA had did not show 25% but done 20/80 but this equals to the same amount so i assume if i use the 25% or 20/80 it will be fine? is this correct?
    Thank you again- i experienced a light switch moment were it made sense! lol

    NO, it does not apply to PETS. PETS are ‘chargeable on death’, so the 20% or 25% do not apply to PETS.

    25% is the same as (20/80) x 100
    0.25 = 80/100
    🙂
