His employer established a pension scheme for him. Is that a crime all of a sudden?

The Lib Dem/Cons government create a special scheme for a civil servant, proposed by said civil servant. Totally normal to get treasury sign off for such an instrument.. backs scratched?

I have to say I agree that, in my opinion, there’s more to this than is clear at the moment (or may ever by clear). I don’t believe that AR even realised that CGT was a potential issue at the time (does anyone really think AR at the time understood even the basics of the CGT rules and designed a subterfuge to evade liability?) . There was (and is) however some clear and most likely deliberate obfuscation going on concerning who lived where. Discounting the possibility that this was designed to evade CGT it’s unclear what the intent actually was. It could be some fairly benign reason, alternatively it may not be. I do wonder whether her brother was in receipt of housing or other benefit to which he wouldn’t have been entitled had it been clear that he lived with her / in her house. Or that pretending still to live there ensured she qualified for the full purchase discount when in fact she’d moved out before this had been accrued (and possibly earlier than has been assumed thus far). I might be wrong, we might never know, however I don’t believe we yet understand why this odd structure of residences etc was set up and hence I think there’s more to this.

I am sure that when I have sold property my conveyancer has mentioned CGT etc as part of the completion process and advised checking the HMRC website to see if anything is owed, its really simple fill out a few details and it tells you what you owe.

Its the beauty of selling a property you have genuine legal advice through the entire process so can usually ask this legal professional if something is not clear.

I think suggesting someone has sold a property in blissful ignorance of CGT would be stretching it, owing to the legal advice she must have had during the sale.

Granted it’s the way he is slumped down and facial expression of defeat when Sunak retorts… Even Mordaunt breaks a wee smile.

Unfortunately not. There are lots of solicitors/conveyancers out there who make no mention of CGT to their clients.

Conveyancers shouldn’t be giving tax advice. Most are not even solicitors

It wasn't tax advice at all, merely a suggestion.

And I would be quite grateful for it if I didn’t know about it.

I guess with the local elections out of the way it won't be long now before we get to find out if they've found a big enough rug to sweep this under.

Maybe it depends where you live and the value of houses there?
I've moved house at least 15 times and nobody has mentioned CGT to me.

The only time its come up was last year in respect of my mum's house since that's an inheritance.
