Still CGT uplift in IIP trusts?

Postby brightonrock on Fri May 19, 2006 12:40 am

Pre BN25, the base cost of assets in a IIP trust were rebased to market value for CGT purposes when the life beneficiary died and the assets were then distributed.

Is this still the case for IIPs in existance before the budget, but distributing the assets now?

Seems a straight forward query but I can't find the answer.

Yes there is no change to the CGT rules for IIP trusts in existence on budget day where the IIP beneficiary dies sunsequently.

The new provisions (in Paragraphs 29 onwards of Schedule 20 to the Finance Bill) restrict this only for IIPs coming into existence after budget day.
