Q 2 By how much would the IHT payable on Ning's death estate of £750000 have been reduced if she had instead died one year later on 15 april 2016

1) The PET on 1 March 2008 will have used the AE 2007/08 even though it never becomes chargeable on death as donor survives for more than 7 years 2) What do you not understand in the answer - the main issue is that the gift to Shinya is no longer taxable which allows the NRB to be used by the chargeable estate
