and the other spouse is a basic rate payer then if there is a let property this could be transferred as a gift and there will be no Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty. The lower earning spouse on any rental profit will pay at the basic rate of 20% rather than 40% in tax.

• If ☝🏽 spouse has a bank/building society account and earns interest then there is the option to apply for a joint account and split the interest equally and used the savings allowance to save sim tax
