Holdover relief claim forms

Postby Brightonian » Wed May 15, 2024 9:10 am

Hello,
Some years ago, I sent HMRC S.260 claim forms relating to the gift of shares to a trust in 2020/21. In these circumstances it is unnecessary for the transferee to sign the forms - the signature of the transferor is all that is required. However, the trustee had also signed the forms. In my covering letter to HMRC I asked if they were happy with the forms as they stood or if this invalidated them. I have never received a response.
I should be grateful if someone could give me their view on this. Am I being too picky or could HMRC reject the forms because of the trustee's signature?
Thank you.

You can never have too MANY signatures, only too FEW. Unnecessary ones can be (and will be ) ignored.
With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. That saves me the cost of a stamp!
