Husband and wife company question

[THEPUMA]

I've got a load of shares in BT - doesn't mean I do any work for them.
The shares reflect my investment in monitary value in that company, if your co started with £100, and £50 came from the Mrs then she has a 50% share holding.

The difference is that the BT share acquisition was a commercial arm's length transaction whereas you wouldn't have let anyone other than your wife acquire the shares in your company for £50.

Shouldn't make any difference this tax year but it probably will when the new income shifting legislation is introduced next tax year.

ok i think it's time to bite the bullet and set up an income shifting arrangement. can anyone point me to any advice for what i need to do in order to give (or sell?) some MyCo shares to my wife?

cheers.....
