  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the IHT205 in the editor.
  2. Begin by filling in the deceased's personal information, including surname, other names, date of death, and marital status. Ensure accuracy as this information is crucial for processing.
  3. Proceed to section 2 regarding gifts made within seven years of death. Answer 'Yes' or 'No' based on the deceased's financial activities and include any relevant values in box 14.1 if applicable.
  4. Continue through sections 3 to 10, answering questions about assets and benefits related to pensions and trusts. If you answer 'Yes' to specific questions, follow the instructions provided to determine if you need form IHT400 instead.
  5. In section 13, list all assets owned by the deceased at the time of death. Be thorough and provide estimated values where necessary. This will contribute to calculating the total estate value.
  6. Finally, review your entries for accuracy before submitting. Use our platform’s features to save your progress or share it with others for collaboration.

The gross value of the estate is the total value of all assets. It is the value of the estate before deducting mortgages, funeral expenses and debts.
Another common tax loophole is to downsize your property. As inheritance tax only comes into effect at the time of someones death, taking into account assets that have been given away in the seven years prior to death, it can be a good idea to downsize to a smaller property.
It consists of an accounting of everything you own or have certain interests in at the date of death (Refer to Form 706 PDF). The fair market value of these items is used, not necessarily what you paid for them or what their values were when you acquired them. The total of all of these items is your Gross Estate.
Once youve identified all liabilities of your estate, you will then subtract the total value of those liabilities from the total amount of your assets to determine your estate value.
We take a look at the new excepted estate rules and what is classed as a excepted estate for inheritance tax. From January 2022, it is no longer necessary to complete Inheritance Tax form 205 if an estate is exempt from Inheritance Tax.

To work out the total value of the shares, multiply the number of shares by the price. For example, if the person who died owned 100 shares and their value was 1093.5p, the value of the shareholding will be 109,350 (100 x 1093.5p).
Youll need to submit either IHT205 or IHT400, depending on the estates value and complexity. IHT205 is for simpler, non-taxable estates. IHT400 is for larger estates, or where inheritance tax might be owed. You cannot apply for probate without submitting the correct form to HMRC.
What is the net qualifying value of an estate for probate? The net qualifying value is the total value of the estate after debts and liabilities have been subtracted. This figure is used to calculate inheritance tax and determine whether the estate falls above or below the tax threshold.
