Subsequent developments The act was originally cited as the Capital Transfer Tax Act 1984. Section 100(1) of the Finance Act 1986 renamed the tax charged under the act from capital transfer tax to inheritance tax, and accordingly renamed the act to the Inheritance Tax Act 1984. The act has since been substantially amended, principally by successive Finance Acts.
