    I can think of a long winded way of doing it but as they are UT's and there's (I think) no dealing charge for those why not just sell and pass over the money and rebuy?

    Ask II for a form to transfer / re-register the holdings.

    The idea is to shift the CGT liability.

    OK, so, woudl this work.
    Open a joint account.
    Transfer the shares into that.
    Remove the person who you dont wish to own the shares.

    Yes there is.      The platform will have the forms for this.   Transferring UT/OEICs to spouse to utilise their CGT allowance is common enough for the platform service line to know what you want and need to do.

    Sounds like I just added another £9.99 a month to our costs. The fill a form in option is looking favorite.
