IHT - Shares in family run company

Postby SYR » Wed Jul 25, 2018 8:57 am

Mother transfer 50% share to son in 2014/15 - claim for hold-over relief was filed with her tax return.

Mother passed away in Jun 2018 -

Could you please confirm the followings:
No CGT - Correct?
No IHT - Correct?

Does a value of the shares need to be disclose in "Probate"?

Many thanks for any comments.

Well, no CGT until you dispose of shares.
IHT position depends on whether the business qualifies for relief. If not, then shares form part of estate and are (possibly) taxable (at a lower rate)
With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA

The shares will need to qualify for BPR at both the time of the gift and the death.
