Absolutely. A qualified Chartered Surveyor must conduct the Inheritance Tax Valuation to meet HMRC's stringent regulations and standards. Errors or inaccuracies may trigger tax investigations or financial penalties. Accurate valuation is crucial, particularly for high-value assets like properties, antiques, and artworks, which HMRC scrutinizes closely. Additionally, factors such as debts, trusts, charitable donations, and jointly owned property further complicate valuation. If the estate's value exceeds the £325,000 threshold, a 40% inheritance tax rate applies to the excess. HMRC's satisfaction with the estate's true value and tax liabilities is necessary before obtaining probate.
