Hi,
Both you and your mother may have capital gains tax to pay on the disposal of the asset to the other family member.
Please have a look at the guidance at
CG14580 - ) on 'connected persons' and that of 'realtive'.
It is important to recognise when a transaction is ‘otherwise than by way of a bargain made at arm’s length’. This is because for a transaction carried out ‘otherwise than by way of a bargain made at arm’s length’ the market value of the asset should be used as the consideration for the disposal (
CG14540 - Consideration for disposal: market value rule: not at arm's length).
A bargain made at arm’s length is a normal commercial transaction between two or more persons. All of the parties involved will be trying to obtain the best deal for themselves in their particular circumstances (
CG14541 - Consideration for disposal: market value rule: at arm's length).
You can calculate any capital gains using the calculator at
Capital Gains Tax.
From there you can register for and report and pay any capital gains tax due.
Please note that you will both need to do this withing 60 days of the completion date.
Thank you.
