IHTM46022 - Calculating the RNRB: terms used: 'residential enhancement'

The RNRB for each individual is referred to as the ‘residential enhancement�. The value of the residential enhancement for deaths in the following tax years is:

  • £100,000 in 2017 â€� 2018
  • £125,000 in 2018 â€� 2019
  • £150,000 in 2019 â€� 2020
  • £175,000 in 2020 â€� 2028

After the tax year 2027/2028 these values will automatically increase each year by reference to the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), unless the Treasury specifies an alternative value � IHTA84/S8D(6, 7 & 8).

These sums can effectively be doubled where the full brought-forward allowance (IHTM46040) is available.
