My mother and father are hoping to release some equity in thier property and give my brother an I a lump some in cash. I understand that if this is done as a PET then assuming they survive for 7 years then the amount given is not liable for Inheritance tax. That all sounds fine.

What I would like to know is will my brother and I be personally liable to pay any tax when we receive the lump sum, capital gains or income tax?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You will have no personal liability to income or capital gains tax. You could become liable to any IHT as a beneficiary.

If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will be happy to act on your behalf.
