IHTM25112 - Valuing the partnership interest: Income Tax
A deceased partner鈥檚 Income Tax liability is a personal liability, not a business liability.
Example
the capital account may be shown as follows:-
Capital account as at 31.3.12 =拢106,510
Add share profit + 拢78,750
Less income tax - 拢15,670
Less drawings - 拢58,000
Balance at 31.3.12 = 拢111,590
You should check first that the Income Tax liability represents tax unpaid at the death. If so, add it back to make the capital account 拢127,260. You can then accept the Income Tax liability as an additional liability of the estate unless it is already shownas a liability at box 82 of form IHT400.
