IHTM31775 | Assessing: CTDs: Estate Duty

Estate Duty is not a scheduled liability, so it cannot be satisfied using a CTD. If the taxpayer wishes to pay Estate Duty with a CTD, it has to be encashed, first. The encashment date for the CTD is either;

• the due date of the Duty - this will be the case if the CTD is dated before the due date of the Duty, or

• the date of the CTD - this will be the case if the CTD is dated after the due date of the Duty.

In either case, send to CTD Team along with the completed calculation,

• the completed tear-off slip FAO826/1, or

• the original CTD and letter which accompanied it, if you have it.

If you do not have the CTD, send a memo stating:

• that the taxpayer wishes to use the CTD against an Estate Duty liability and

• the date of encashment.
