Why doesn't he sell them himself and give his son the money?
at a guess, because he thinks its a way round CGT? WhIch obviously it isnt.
Quite. Maybe it's not the father but the son who wants to pull a fast one. The father might want to give him the shares as something to hold on to, but sonny wants to flog them off as soon as possible and turn them into a cash deposit.
