Excluded property: the IHT exemption for non-UK domiciliaries
2.12.1
Where the deceased was domiciled or deemed domiciled in the UK at death, the estate will be liable to IHT regardless of where the assets were situated. If he was not so domiciled, IHT will apply only to assets situated in the UK. The normal domicile rule is extended in two circumstances, as explained at 16.4 (IHTA 1984 s267).
