IHTM42229 - The settlement: property moving from one settlement to another

When property is transferred from one settlement to another, usually as a result of the trustees exercisingÌýa power of appointment바카라 사이트¯or an assignment by a beneficiary,바카라 사이트¯that property바카라 사이트¯is treated as remaining in the first settlement바카라 사이트¯but only바카라 사이트¯for the purposes of the바카라 사이트¯charges바카라 사이트¯set out for바카라 사이트¯relevant바카라 사이트¯property trusts in Chapter III, Part III,바카라 사이트¯IHTA84/S81바카라 사이트¯Ìý

This means that바카라 사이트¯ten-year anniversary (TYA)바카라 사이트¯charges바카라 사이트¯(IHTM42081)바카라 사이트¯arise on the transferred property on the바카라 사이트¯TYA바카라 사이트¯of the commencement of the바카라 사이트¯first바카라 사이트¯settlement.바카라 사이트¯This rule therefore prevents transfers to another settlement from avoiding바카라 사이트¯the바카라 사이트¯TYA chargeÌýby keeping the settlement intact.바카라 사이트¯Ìý

The rule does notÌýapply for the other purposes of the바카라 사이트¯Inheritance Tax Act so that, e.g. the accountability and liability rules for the transferred property will be the responsibility of the recipient trustees.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

Similarly, S81 does not바카라 사이트¯mean that the trusts applying to the transferred property remain the same. It will be held on the terms of the recipient trust.바카라 사이트¯Ìý

The transfer of property바카라 사이트¯between settlementsÌýwill바카라 사이트¯rarely바카라 사이트¯give rise to an exit charge.바카라 사이트¯That is because either the property remainsÌýrelevant property or there is a statutory exemption that applies, e.g. a transfer to a special trust such as a charitable trust or an employee benefit trust (see IHTA/S75, S75A & S76). However, if the recipient trust is, e.g. a disabled person바카라 사이트™s trust then the property will then have become non-relevant property and a charge may arise.바카라 사이트¯Ìý

Impact on excluded property바카라 사이트¯Ìý

For times on or after 6 April 2025, excluded property for foreign assets can only be available if the settlor of the first trust is not a long-term UK resident.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

Prior to then excluded property depended not only on the domicile of the settlor of the first trust but also바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

  • the domicile of the settlor of the recipient trust or바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

  • the domicile of a person who made an assignment of the trust property (or had exercised a general power of appointment).바카라 사이트¯Ìý

These additionalÌýtests depended upon whether the inter-trust transfer was바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

  • prior to 22 July 2020 or바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

  • between 22 July 2020 and before 6 April 2025.바카라 사이트¯바카라 사이트¯Ìý

These tests are now repealed and guidance on these historic tests is at바카라 사이트¯IHTM42603.
