The new proposed plans, which if approved will come into force on 6 April 2023, will give couples three tax years after the year they cease to live together to make no gain or no loss transfers without triggering a tax bill.
Couples will also be given unlimited time to settle if those assets are part of a formal divorce agreement.
The new rules will also allow those who have moved out of a marital home but kept a share in it to be able to claim Private Residence Relief when the property is sold.
Those who have transferred their interest in the property to their former spouse will be able to apply the same tax treatment to the sale proceeds as applied when they transferred it.
The changes will make the CGT rules fairer and gives spouses and civil partners more time to transfer assets between themselves without incurring tax charges.
These are welcome proposed changes, because currently the law does nothing to assist those separating who are already facing significant financial bills.
There’s already enough financial stress and emotional pressure for spouses who are splitting up, and on top of that they have the extra strain of having to split their finances before the end of the tax year.
These changes will therefore be a huge relief because it will give parties more time to come to an agreement and will reduce the financial cost.

Professional, compassionate and timely service
Anjani and Sophie have been nothing but professional and compassionate throughout my experience, they have always been on the ball with deadlines and have ensured everything is done in a timely manner. I'd describe the whole process as compact and considerate, ensuring things ran smoothly and there wasn't any
unnecessary tasks added which saved money and time. Very happy to have had them work with me!

Reassuring support through difficult times
Going into this process, I was terrified and emotional, from the start Hollie was reassuring, gave me all the information I could need, explained processes and answered all my questions regardless of how simple they may have been. Fullers helped me when situations changed and gave me the help I needed at a vulnerable point in my life. I genuinely couldn't of gotten a better experience elsewhere

Efficient, cost-saving divorce solution
The service I received from Jane-Louise and the team at Fullers Family Law was exemplary. Jane-Louise is one of the few solicitors that can deal with both parties using the Together We Part system. This works out so much cheaper and far quicker to get the divorce granted as only one lawyer is needed. This obviously only works if you're in agreement but if you are, I urge you to contact Jane-Louise and the team to discuss the Together We Part option. It saved us thousands and the divorce was granted within 6 months! Thank you team for your professionalism throughout.
