Published HMRC data suggests that on average 25% of an estate’s assets are cash which suggests that these fees are affordable[1]. In exceptional cases where an executor cannot afford to pay the fee, there are safeguards in place, including the Lord Chancellor’s power to remit a fee.</p><p> </p><p>As stated in our published Impact Assessment, it is unlikely that demand will change in response to the planned fee changes.</p><p>[1] Inheritance Tax Statistics, available here:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/inheritance-tax-statistics-table-124-assets-in-estates-by-range-of-net-estate-and-tax-due</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 03/12/2018 18:08:40 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer previous answer version 89720 answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
