Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Principal Regulations (S.I. 1981/881) as amended by the Inheritance Tax (Delivery of Accounts) (Scotland) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1079) dispensed with the need to deliver an account for the purposes of inheritance tax where (subject to specified exceptions) the value of a deceased’s estate did not exceed £100,000 and where the deceased died on or after 1st April 1989. These Regulations increase that limit to £115,000 in respect of deaths on or after 1st April 1990.
