Passing property to children

Passing property to children

Postby cal1607 on Fri Jul 01, 2011 10:27 am

Hi
I am a 40% tax payer and would like to pass my rental property to my 2 young children for tax saving reasons.

Can you see any advantage and if so is a trust recommended?

thnks

A minor cannot own real property. A trust would be the only way of doing this. There would appear to be a settlement meaning that the income would be taxable on you under s. 629 ITTOIA 2005.
