EFIS 5, January 2009 : Inheritance Tax / Inland Revenue

You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

Important Notice:

Forms IHT400 - IHT423 require you to be running OyezForms V9.01J or above in order to reproduce them to HMRC’s specification. Click here for program upgrade information.


As some subscribers to this range have not upgraded their OyezForms to version V901J or above, the reference to “HM Revenue & Customs” does not always print out correctly which causes HMRC’s staff difficulty when processing the completed IHT forms.

IHT400-IHT423 forms have been re-supplied on the understanding that customers upgrade their software along with use of these versions to avoid the risk of HMRC rejecting their completed applications.

Customers must use the latest versions of IHT400 - IHT423 on receipt.

Also, we have taken the opportunity to re-issue forms IHTD3, IHTD5 and IR185EI which have all received minor field label amendments. These forms can also be used immediately.
