Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people received relief from Inheritance Tax for deaths on active service in (a) 2015-16, (b) 2016-17 and (c) 2017-18.
The number of estates that claimed the inheritance tax exemption for death on active service cannot be provided. Due to the low incidence of claims for this relief, releasing the information could lead to the identification of individual taxpayers.
