CGT for Transfer of equity and property sale
My two siblings and I inherited a property in 2012, that was rented out up till 2020. I eventually moved into the property in July 2023 after the pandemic and renovations were completed. In discussion with my siblings, we’re thinking of selling the family home but before we do that, one of my siblings wants to transfer his 33% share to help me and my other brother financially from the sale of the house. The brother that wants to give his 33% is an Australian Citizen since 2012, he migrated to Australia in 2008 and resides there. Two questions: 1. How soon after the transfer of equity (ownership) of can the property be put up for sale? 2. Will my brother who resides in Australia have to pay any capital gain tax? If so which will it have to be here in the UK, Australia or both?
