    I suggest you pay for tax advice from a professional because your DIY attempt is swiss cheese

    you want her to be the legal owner for IHT purposes to establish a PET but then you want her to evade income tax by declaring zero profit on her beneficial interest because you plan to charge an extortionate "management fee"

    HMRC have already seen through that amateur attempt

    you state she lives in Germany, but have not confirmed if she owns or rents her accommodation over there.
    the first would entail her paying the higher rate SDLT
    the latter, standard rate

    she needs to read the UK/Germany tax treaty re her German tax position on rental income
    Thanks, I appreciate your help and advice.

    Why not just gift the cash to each of your three children now?
    The complicated scheme you propose does not seem to gain any benefit for you or your children other than trying to avoid additional stamp duty.
