Sorry to open an old thread, I have a related question
In the thread linked above it states...
"spouses jointly hold any asset including shares the proceeds will be split on disposal. Therefore, it is not necessary to hold them separately."
My understanding is that I can transfer shares to my wife, without any tax liability arising.
What would be far easier to manage is if I could change my share account into a joint account with my wife. If I do this, can we avail of 2x 1270 exemptions on the shares I currently hold, splitting any gains between us?
