Two brothers own 20 acres of as tenants in common. And used for grazing horses.
Brothers decide to split into two 10-acre parcels so that each brother owns one 10-acre plot. Both 10-acre parcels have identical values.
I guess there are no IHT implications as they have exchanged land of identical value. But what about CGT. I guess each needs to do a CGT comp for the disposal of 50% of 10-acres at full market value. But what do you think?

Not necessarily
have a look at Extra Statutory Concession D26 which covers the area of exchange of interests in jointly owned land. This gives a form of rollover relief. If you look on HMRC website and search for ESC D26 you will find their instructions at CG73000
