I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability

[@petekelvin2736]

Invest globally in bitcoin, gold, silver, forex market, commodities. Just don't be left out and save yourself

[@micheal9186]

Beautifully said, I tell my folks these words everyday. It's good to save money but most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be misled in facts like this and always depend on money in the bank.

[@susanmandy8800]

Pure wise comment.

@Collins Markson Hey, this is a computer age. Peeps who aren't even traders make money from the crypto and forex markets ,how many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts?

Great video, Simon. Does my child have to reach a specific age before I can gift my property to him?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Not at all, any age

[@naomihutcheon225]

Hello , when you transfer property into the Trust based on your comments/legislation there is no CGT. However, is the property at the time of transfer re-based for CGT purposes, otherwise when the property is eventually passed to children (9 yrs in your example) they will have inherited at the original purchase price and then they will pay the CGT on the gain when sold?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

You need to get tax advice on this as it is quite complex with a number of tax elections you can make

[@wrzlgummidge7663]

Another great video Simon. Q: I own a small BTL portfolio, in my name only, no mortgages. If I want to transfer to joint ownership with my wife, would CGT apply? Thanks in advance

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Possible but there is a potential incorporation relief that may be obtained. This is a detailed question and tax advice from your accountant is a must

Hi

How much is a solicitor going to cost to do this work and where can I find one?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Great question as they all vary but reach out to Tim Bishop Solicitors www.bishopslaw.co.uk/our-people/partners/tim-bishop/

[@bobshifimods7302]

@@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants Thanks for the quick reply. Here's something I've encountered that in my view is sharp practice at best, A major local solicitor offered to do the work on condition that I visit a financial advisor for a full consultancy and it's one they are associated with. Hence I'd be paying (I imagine) £500+ for absolutely nothing.

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

I’m sorry to hear about your personal experience.

[@bsrfursociety3427]

great video, really helpful, thank you. Just one question, when the properties are taken out of the trust after say a year, is there CGT payable then? Also, do they have to come out, can my son benefit from them whilst still in the trust, ie have the rental income?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Depending on the type of trust that you are using there could be a capital gains tax liability for the trust itself. Again, depending on the trust will dictate what happened to the income and how it is also taxed

[@mohammadahmed8171]

Is there any taxes on gifting residential property?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Yes, CGT and possibly SDLT. There could also be a IHT issue

[@vp2272]

once you use the IHT NRB for the transfer into the trust, does this mean that you lose that amount of NRB going forwards?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

The £325,000 IHT allowance will be reset after 7 years.

[@GarryWebster]

Brilliant video Simon, very helpful Just a quick question: this seems like a held over gain? so, the CGT when (if) the child sells, is it due at the amount when transferred or say at amount its worth in year 9? thank

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

There are ways of CGT relief altogether way by you utilise your inheritance tax lifetime allowance instead

Is there any Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax if I gift my main resident to my sons?. I intend to move into my smaller Buy to Let house.

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

There could be both. You will need to seek tax advice for your particular situation.

[@MrTanahmed]

Is it an absolute that the property is mortgage free to be able to move into a gift trust? Would moving to a trust result in change of ownership?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Yes and yes again as a quick answer

[@nixodian]

no cgt on children if they live in the gifted property, right?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

There is no CGT on the person gifting the property if they have always lived in the property. IHT could still be due within 7 years of the gift

[@nixodian]

@@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants its regarding the children who receive the property gift, they don't have to pay iht (if gifter survives 7 years) AND no cgt if the children live there as their main home. correct?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

This is all correct

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

👍

[@h.a1671]

Whats the shortest amount of time the property can remain in a trust? Once its in the "childs" hands is it then able to be remortgaged?

[@h.a1671]

Great videos BTW

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

Thank you for the kind comments. I would say keep in the trust between 12 to 18 months and then move to beneficiaries hands to get a mortgage

@@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants can you use a trust to gift property to a limited company which is owned by your children 🤔

[@gina-gt9845]

Very useful video, Simon. If I have 2 residential properties/houses. Can I keep 1 as my primary home and another one I want to give it to my son. The property which I want to give it to my son, can i put this into a trust for between 1-9 years? and the one is my primary home, can i sell it without CGT (do i have to pay CGT)? Much appreciated for your advice.

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

You certainly can achieve all those things. There are ways to mitigate CGT but as you will appreciate is a complex situation and needs to be discussed with your accountant
