Answer 1

正确答案：

(c) Value of quoted shares that can be transferred to Avril
The value of shares to be transferred to Avril will be equal to ￡370,000 less the inheritance tax due by the estate.
IHT is payable on transfers in the seven years prior to Noland’s death and on the death estate.
The only chargeable gift in the seven years prior to Noland’s death is the transfer to the discretionary trust. No tax is due in
respect of this gift as it is covered by the nil rate band.
