  • Capital Gains Tax on Inherited Property I have lived in

    I will try and make this question relating to CGT on Inherited property simple.

    Key Points:
    - Grandfather died in 1990.
    - Trust Deed in place from 1984 when my parents purchased property (Right To Buy scheme)
    - House value in 1990 was £34,500 with IHT Threshold of £118,000.
    - Established recently that my Grandfather had made a will in 1984 leaving property to my brother and myself
    - Remaining Executor (solicitor) renounced his capacity last month,
    - I have lived in the property as my main residence since 2010, having moved back to my home city

    Questions being:
    - Is there any CGT to pay on the future sale of the property?
    - As my brother is also a beneficiary, yet it is his 2nd home, does he have to pay any additional taxes or does he living there prevent this?
    - Do I need to complete IHT for my late Grandfather, 34 years after his death, as no IHT was applicable.

    Hopefully, you can provide some assistance.

    Regards
    Carl

    Please also note that my Mother is the remaining Trustee of the property and in principle the Legal Owner. No rent has been received on the property during ownership.
