The duty is calculated on the capitalized value for the life of the successor of the property succeeded to, in accordance with a table schedule to the Act of 1853; e.g., if a person aged fifty succeed to property worth 100l. a year, he pays succession duty upon 1242l. 19s. 6d.Succession duties are payable as a rule at the same rate as legacy duty in respect of all property liable to be administered by any Court in Great Britain and Northern Ireland--unlike legacy duty, it falls on property passing by death (succession), under disposition by deed or other instrument (...
