Do I need to submit an Inheritance Tax return?

Unless you do not need to apply for a Grant of Representation in respect of the deceased’s estate, you will need to submit an Inheritance Tax return with your application for the Grant and pay any Inheritance Tax found to be due. This requirement applies whether or not the deceased left a valid Will or any tax is actually due. There are penalties for late submission of the form and interest will be charged on late payment of any Inheritance Tax due.
