Shares bed-and-breakfast: 30 days requirement

Feb 15, 2005 3 Replies

Can someone remind me of the regulations (or point me to an Inland Revenue website?) regarding the requirements for an ordinary old-fashioned B&B. IIRC, you can sell, crystallise the gain/loss, buy back after 30 days, and not have it seen as a related transaction.



TIA

Yes, the new CGT Identification rules from March 1998 stopped B&Bs from being effective. You need to wait 30 days, as you thought.

However, Bed & ISA and Bed & Spouse may be other possible options.

OK, I'm now seriously bewildered. Wossitabout?

Thanks v. much: very helpful
