IHTM24021 - Unlisted shares: Sale within three years of death
If the transfer occurred on a death, IHTA84/S122 (2) provides that relief will not be due in respect of any holdings
sold within three years after the death
where the shares are sold and revalued as a minority holding under IHTA84/S176.
This means relief will not be due unless the holding, by itself, would have been sufficient to give control immediately before the death. In these circumstances, you may need to withdraw any relief already given. However, where the relief is due at 100% in full it is unlikely that a claim under IHTA84/S176 will be made.
