Gift and CGT

Gift and CGT

Didn't find your answer?

My client wants to gift a piece of land to her neighbour's son.

Presumably the consideration is nil and not market value because her neighbour's son is not a connected person.

Therefore she should have no CGT to pay.

Please can someone confirm this.

I'ts not that simple I'm afraid
The MV value rule applies automatically between connected persons but also applies to any bargain which is not at arm's length. A gift is clearly a non arm's length transaction and therefore it's MV.
