211.—(1) Where a person dies, an assessment or an additional first assessment (as the case may be), may be made for the year of assessment in which such person dies or for any previous year in respect of the profits or gains which arose or accrued to such person before his death, and the amount of the tax on such profits or gains shall be a debt due from and payable out of the estate of such person, and the executor or administrator of such person shall be assessable and chargeable in respect of such tax.

(2) No assessment under this section shall be made later than three years after the expiration of the year of assessment in which the deceased person died in a case in which the grant of probate or letters of administration was made in that year, and no such assessment shall be made later than two years after the expiration of the year of assessment in which such grant was made in any other case, but the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall have effect subject to the proviso that where the executor or administrator lodges a corrective affidavit for the purpose of assessment of estate duty after the year of assessment in which the deceased person died, such assessment may be made at any time before the expiration of two years after the end of the year of assessment in which the corrective affidavit was lodged.

(3) The executor or administrator of any such deceased person shall, when required by a particular notice so to do, prepare and deliver to the inspector a statement in writing signed by such executor or administrator and containing particulars, to the best of his judgment and belief, of the profits or gains which arose or accrued to such deceased person before his death and in respect of which such executor or administrator is assessable under this section, and the provisions of this Act relating to statements to be delivered by any person shall apply, with any necessary modifications, to statements to be delivered under this section.
