This is a question that comes up on a (very) regular basis.
Accountant A is right - you cant retain 50% if property owned jointly. They would have to change underlying ownership

You can do that but only if that was the agreed beneficial capital & income split from the outset; otherwise s809AZA ITA 2007 comes into play to prevent that transfer - as has been commented here numerous times before.
