Hi
Where a DOV creates a discretionary trust is the “start date” the date of death of the deceased or the date of the Deed of Variation? This has a bearing on 10 year anniversary charges.
Thanks

The “start date” for IHT purposes, and therefore for the periodic charge, is the date of death of the person the dispositions of whose estate have been varied.
For perpetuity purposes, etc., the start date will be the date the trust is created.
