The Daily Telegraph has discovered that if someone places a house in the name of a disabled child (so that the child can have a secure home for life) it nevertheless counts as still being the parents property for some tax purposes. They even discovered an example of a parent who didn’t realise this and had paid less tax than they should, although that person promised to pay the extra tax as soon as being made aware of this. What would that campaigning newspaper do next? Presumably it would put a lot of effort into a campaign to have this law changed?
