IHTM43033 - Calculating the transferable nil rate band: survivor was married to or in a civil partnership with someone who was entitled to TNRB from an earlier death; limitation at 100%

Following the example from (IHTM43032), if on Lucy’s death there had been no chargeable legacies the calculations would be as follows

Unused nil rate band calculation

M = £375,000

VT = £Nil

M is greater than VT by £375,000

Transferable nil rate band calculation

E =£375,000

NRBMD = £300,000 so

(375,000 ÷ 300,000) × 100 = 125.0000%

On David’s death the nil rate band available on his death would be limited to 100% by IHTA84/S8A(5).
