This is true!!

As long as the second property is sold he will be taxed on it at 40% because of the huge increase.

It only matters if you actually live in it.

No it does, my dad owns a few houses and he pays less taxes when he sells them by doing something like that, im not sure on the actual facts though.

YES m8 not for a good while!


I believe there is a certain amount of time that it has to of been lived in, or owned, before the tax goes down.

He is best just speaking to an accountant or IFA though to be honest, they'll know the back doors!:thumbs:

Its called capital gains tax an yeah, he will have to pay some tax (possibly)... the original cost will be indexed up to todays prices (ie to take acocunt of inflation) then any proiceeds will be deducted... if that still above approx £8k (not sure what the exact limit is currently) and whatvers left will be taxed (presumably at 40% as he is presumably a higher rate payer per yr post) sorry...
