quote: 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. [Edited on 08-11-2005 by Jamescorsa97] | |

I dont think time spent in a house has any relevance to a 2nd house :S | |

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... | |
