TSEM7376 - Deceased persons: responsibilities of HMRC Administration of Estates Cardiff - complex cases

PAYE and Self Assessment-HMRC Administration of Estates Cardiff is responsible for dealing with all aspects of the period of administration where the case is regarded as a complex case.

We would regard a case as complex if:

• the tax liability for the whole of the administration period is in excess of £10,000, or
• the estate has a value at the date of death in excess of £2.5m, or
• the proceeds of assets sold by the personal representative in any one tax year exceeds £250,000 for deaths before 6 April 2016 or
• the proceeds of assets sold by the personal representative in any one year exceeds £500,000 for deaths on or after 6 April 2016.

If the estate does not fall into any of the above categories but it cannot easily be dealt with under the informal payments procedures, advice should be obtained from HMRC Administration of Estates Cardiff. For internal users only-  Administration Period Mailbox
