Understand that.

But the debate (from memory) was about avoiding a super-inheritance tax or rolled up CGT on your house. HMRC would not allow you to sell at £1 in that scenario, just like they (or DWP)watch if you sell deliberately to make yourself 'poor' and qualify for long term care.

Of course multi nationals can still do what they like.

True, although HMRC don't have a great track record of enforcing the law and I would be surprised if more than 25% of DWP staff can spell their own name correctly at the first attempt.
