Solicitor's fee in setting up a trust

We have set up a Discretionary Trust and transfer a property into the trust. Can the Solicitor's fee be regarded as expenses when filling in the CGT return?

Hi,
Yes, they can. Please see the link below

Thank you.

Thanks for your response. I just want to make sure by stating my question a bit clearer. When employing a solicitor to set up a trust with a property placed into the trust, it incurs a solicitor's fee for drafting the Trust Deeds, etc. When CGT is then filed for the disposal of the property into the trust, can this solicitor's fee be regarded as expenses.

Hi,
Yes, you can deduct solicitor's fees. Please see the link below
