IHT205 question re Prudential Annuity - thanks in advance for assistance


However am unclear how to answer point 6: Did the Deceased pay premiums on any life insurance policies that were not for their own benefit or did not pay out to the estate, and did they buy an annuity at any time? ignore any policies paid out to a surviving spouse or partner = there is only a choice of Yes or No and it says if Yes top filling in this form. you will need to fill in form IHT400 instead. As the money entered his account already taxed do I need to declare yes here or am I misreading the question and should it apply to the next question 7 Did the deceased have any kind of pension arrangement other than the State Pension to which have already said Yes as he had the BP pension.
Hope someone can answer this
Thank you

Did the Deceased pay premiums on any life insurance policies that were not for their own benefit or did not pay out to the estate, and did they buy an annuity at any time?
From the HMRC notes
Notes to help you fill in form IHT205(2011) These notes only apply when the deceased died on or after 6 April 2011 and you are filling in form IHT205(2011) ‘Return of estate information’.
In any other case, for example, where the policy was put into trust within 7 years of the death, or if the deceased both paid premiums on a life insurance policy that was not for their own benefit or paid out to the estate and they bought an annuity at any time, you must answer ‘Yes’ to question 6 and stop filling in form IHT205(2011) now - you will need to fill in form IHT400 instead.
Note "both" "and" - this does not appear to apply to your father's case?

Thank you - yes looking at this again the annuity only seems relevant if my father paid premiums on a life insurance policy that was not for his own benefit or paid out to the estate which was not the case. I was confused as to whether the purchasing of an annuity was linked to that question but as it is not a separate question it seems it is.
