CGT uplift on death + domicile

CGT uplift on death + domicile

Postby jenhen on Mon Aug 29, 2011 10:00 am

Hello

I wondered if anyone could help with the following query?

I understand that on death there is a CGT uplift to market value - are there any exceptions to this rule i.e. does it depend on residency and/or domicile of the deceased (and consequently the personal representatives)? I have read a few articles and they appear to suggest that the deceased's domicile is important (I may be misinterpreting the articles) - I would have thought that even if this was the case (I'm really not sure) there would be a CGT uplift to market value on any UK assets a non-UK domiciled person held - is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

Irrespective of domicile status of the deceased, on death any beneficiaries are deemed to have acquired assets at the date of death and their market values at that date.
