Hello, my father plans to gift me a commercial property freehold. If he does, would Capital Gains Tax need to be paid?

Hi Hugh Beauty,
Yes as it is seen as a sale
Capital Gains Tax: what you pay it on, rates and allowances
Thank you.

What about hold over relief, would that apply in this case - i.e. Capital Gains Tax would only be payable if I were to then sell the property, how does that work?
