[F18CSection 8A and subsequent chargesU.K.
(1)This section applies where—
(a)the conditions in subsection (1)(a) and (b) of section 8A above are met, and
(b)after the death of the deceased person, tax is charged on an amount under any of sections 32, 32A and 126 below by reference to the rate or rates that would have been applicable to the amount if it were included in the value transferred by the chargeable transfer made (under section 4 above) on the deceased person's death.
(2)If the tax is charged before the death of the survivor, the percentage referred to in subsection (3) of section 8A above is (instead of that specified in subsection (4) of that section)—
where—
E and NRBMD have the same meaning as in subsection (4) of that section;
TA is the amount on which tax is charged; and
NRBME is the nil-rate band maximum at the time of the event occasioning the charge.
(3)If this section has applied by reason of a previous event or events, the reference in subsection (2) to the fraction
is to the aggregate of that fraction in respect of the current event and the previous event (or each of the previous events).
(4)If the tax is charged after the death of the survivor, it is charged as if the personal nil-rate band maximum of the deceased person were appropriately reduced.
(5)In subsection (4) above—
“the personal nil-rate band maximum of the deceased person” is the nil rate band maximum which is treated by Schedule 2 to this Act as applying in relation to the deceased person's death, increased in accordance with section 8A above where that section effected an increase in that nil-rate band maximum in the case of the deceased person (as survivor of another deceased person), and
“appropriately reduced” means reduced by the amount (if any) by which the amount on which tax was charged at the rate of nil per cent. on the death of the survivor was increased by reason of the operation of section 8A above by virtue of the position of the deceased person.]
