Use the online service to register a deceased person's estate if you’re an executor, administrator or personal representative.
If you’re an executor, administrator or personal representative, you need to register an estate if the:
•estate is worth more than £2.5 million at the date of death
•value of assets sold by the personal representative in a tax year is more than £500,000
•total Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax due for the period between the date of death and the date the estate is settled (the ‘administration period’) is more than £10,000
When you register you will get a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) so that you can fill in a Trust and Estate Tax Return.
There is a different way to register if you’re an agent acting on behalf of an estate.
Register the estate by 5 October after the tax year in which the estate starts to receive income, or has capital gains where tax is liable for Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax.
For example, if your estate received some interest for the first time in May 2022 (2022 to 2023 tax year) and became liable to Income Tax on it, you will need to register by 5 October 2023 (2023 to 2024 tax year).
