Alert me about debates like this

Amendments made: 62, in schedule 13, page 266, line 35, at end insert—

“(2A) In subsection (1)—

(a) in the definition of “excluded property”, for “6 and 48” substitute “6, 48 and 48ZA”;

(b) omit the definition of “formerly domiciled resident”.”

This amendment updates the definition of “excluded property” in section 272 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 in consequence of the amendments made by clause 45. It also removes the now-redundant definition of “formerly domiciled resident”.

Amendment 63, in schedule 13, page 266, line 36, at beginning insert “Also”.

This amendment is consequential on Amendment 62.

Amendment 64, in schedule 13, page 267, line 25, at end insert—

“28A “(1) Schedule A1 (non-excluded overseas property) is amended as follows.

(2) In paragraph 1, for “48(3)(a)” substitute “48ZA”.

(3) In paragraph 5(2)(a), for “or 48(3)(a), (3A) or (4)” substitute “, section 48(4) or section 48ZA”.”

This amendment is consequential on clause 45 (which amends section 48 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 and inserts new section 48ZA).

Amendment 65, in schedule 13, page 271, line 39, at end insert—

“(1A) In construing section 267 of IHTA 1984, so far as saved by sub-paragraph (1), the repeal of the definition of “formerly domiciled resident” by paragraph 28(2A)(b) is also to be disregarded.”—

This amendment clarifies that the definition of “formerly domiciled resident”, which is being removed from the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 by Amendment 62, will still be relevant in construing section 267 (which by virtue of paragraph 48 of Schedule 13 will continue to apply for certain limited purposes).

Schedule 13, as amended, agreed to.
