Having worked in Compensation & Benefits for the past 15 years, and spending much of my time these days in the design and operation of pension plans, I thought I had a pretty good grasp on such things. But I've already learned a few tips and tricks to help as I plan my retirement, so huge thanks to you both! My question for you is about CGT liabilities when one is a non-tax payer. My son is in the fortunate position of having a healthy savings pot in a GIA, thanks to gifts/inhe…
