How to Notify HMRC After a Death

HMRC must be notified when someone dies. There may be tax to pay or refunds to claim.

What to report

  • Any outstanding self-assessment returns
  • Income received after death
  • Capital gains on assets sold

Potential refunds

If the deceased overpaid tax, a refund may be due to the estate.
