I am trying to understand the tax liability on a holiday home in Italy. I am UK domiciled and tax resident. The property was gifted to me in 2014 by my parents both Italian nationals and UK (scotland) tax residents since the 1950's. It was gifted with a reservation of benefit (usofruct or usofrutto in Italian.) However in reality my parents never used the house for more than a couple of weeks a year up until 2016 and then never returned due to ill health. I also maintained the property and paid local taxes at my expense. We are now in the process of removing the usofruct so that I have full title and use of the property. Mainly because having my father as usofruct causes me local issues with bills. I have no intention to sell. What I would like to understand is
.
1 I believe I have a case to back date for the purposes for PET to 2014 as my parents never materially used the property and I ended up paying expenses anyway.
2 now that I am about to remove the usofruct I think we raise a CGT liability.
Any comments or advice welcome.
