I see many posts on this topic but all have specific circumstances that don't match mine.

My father is 67 and retired for a few years now. He wishes to transfer @ 21 acres to me (son).

The land is circa 100k value... And I have not inherited or been gifted anything before.
It is agricultural land and not being farmed in recent years.

We already a principle residence and do not in tend to build on the land or sell it within the next 3 years.

What are the tax implications for either myself or my father, and what is the best tax minimisation strategy to enable the transfer?

Any assistance / info appreciated
 
100k is well below the CAT threshold,so there is no tax for you or your father.Stamp duty is payable on the transfer
 
Go an talk to an accountant. Your father may have a CGT exposure.

You may need to utilise Agri relief if there are potential other gifts/inheritances.

Also don't undervalue the land the reliefs are there and you may need the right value if you sell/transfer it in the future.
