CAPITAL GAINS TAX

 

Adult placement carers

See TM ¶6170

On the disposal of a taxpayer’s principal private residence (PPR) any area set aside exclusively for the purposes of a trade or similar will not attract PPR relief, leaving part of any gain made left to charge. Under a government scheme, Shared Lives, carers may be required to set aside a room for an adult to stay with them. Where this is the case, for disposals after 9 December 2009 the relief will be not be restricted for that room.
