    ACCA · Question 07 · Inheritance tax

    Section A

    Which of the following statements regarding Inheritance Tax (IHT) Quick Succession Relief (QSR) is correct?

    Answer options:

    A.

    QSR is available when the deceased's estate includes property that was subject to IHT on a previous transfer within the last five years.

    B.

    QSR reduces the value of the transferred asset by 50% regardless of when the previous transfer occurred.

    C.

    QSR is only available for transfers between spouses or civil partners.

    D.

    QSR applies to lifetime gifts (PETs and CLTs) made within seven years of death.

    How to approach this question

    Recall the purpose and timeframe of QSR. It prevents double taxation when an asset is taxed twice on death within a short period (5 years).

    Full Answer

    A.QSR is available when the deceased's estate includes property that was subject to IHT on a previous transfer within the last five years.✓ Correct
    Quick Succession Relief (QSR) is designed to reduce the IHT burden when an individual dies and their estate includes assets that were already subject to IHT on a previous death (or a chargeable lifetime transfer) within the preceding five years. The relief is a percentage of the tax paid on the first transfer, decreasing as the time between the two events increases.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Quick Succession Relief (5 years, looks backwards) with Taper Relief (7 years, looks forwards from gift to death).
