On 1 January 2022, The Inheritance Tax (Delivery of Accounts) (Excepted Estates) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 came into effect. They extended the 2004 Regulations so that the majority of non-taxpaying estates are no longer required to complete IHT forms in cases where a grant is required. The new Regulations serve to minimise the administrative burdens imposed on those dealing with IHT by reducing the reporting requirements for excepted estates and limiting the circumstances in which full inheritance tax accounts must be delivered to HMRC. The new Regulations, however, will only apply to estates or deaths that occur on or after 1 January 2022.
