I think you'll find that since April 1993 Her Majesty has paid income tax.

I don't think she is liable to CGT or IHT though.

Both IT and CGT. But she is not 'liable', as the Monarchy remains exempt from tax. However she is assessed under the same rules as anyone else but on a voluntary basis agreed (and documented in Hansard) in the latter stages of the John Major reign. And a bit more open now the Palace publish accounts

If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !
