My wife owns outright two buy to let flats and would like to gift one to me. I appreciate that should she gift it to a third party she would be liable for CGT on the gain. But does this also apply to a gift to a spouse
If in fact no IHT is due from my wife as a gift to her spouse, at what value would I be deemed to have received the flat should I eventually decide to sell it.

Transfers between husbands and wives are deemed to take place at a cost that gives rise to neither a gain nor a loss. Normally this is the amount it was originally acquired for.
