Every accountant and tax adviser with personal tax clients will at some stage need to deal with the specific tax implications of death. The client could be a relative of the deceased, or the executor of their will, or a beneficiary receiving an inheritance, or a solicitor engaged to administer the estate.

  • Special computational rules in year of death
  • Revenue powers including time limits and penalties
