Article Abstract:
A lease grant is obviously a disposition, and it will usually reduce the value of the let land owned by the landlord. The lease of land to a partnership in Scotland is very different from the joint tenant lease, since in Scotland the partnership is a persona separate. The persona is distinct and separate from all partners. Consequently, though a lease from a person back to that person and others together can be void, the lease by that individual to himself and others who comprise the Scottish partnership is valid.

Article Abstract:
In England, the interests of business partners extend to the assets of the company, whereas in Scotland this is not true. However, capital transfer tax legislation does not treat English and Scottish partnerships differently. Aspects of a partner's interest in a Scottish partnership are discussed, as well as the qualifying period for business property relief, and correct drafting of partnership deeds. The Revenue's attitude to partners' interest in a Scottish business is somewhat ambivalent.

Article Abstract:
An accident insurance policy or a term insurance policy can generate a lump sum that is tax-free for a death. Such an arrangement will protect the capital transfer tax that is payable to the estate of the deceased. The complete endowment or life policy also offers the advantage of being a tax-effective technique for savings, despite the elimination of income tax relief for premiums.
