Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is payable to HMRC on the gain made when disposing of an asset, including property. However, it’s not just sales that are classed as a disposal-gifting a property can also trigger CGT.

We also look at Stamp Duty considerations and share a real-life case study involving a family who transferred property between siblings.
