Anyway he proudly told me that a CP comes with all the tax benefits of marriage. Seems to me it won't make much difference to income tax or capital gains tax, since they are assessed separately in any event. But there are advantages for transferring cash and assets between each other as they would not be tax events. And IHT savings upon the first death, although that is hopefully a long way off for both of them.
There would be some opportunities for "parking" income in the name of the partner with the lower income.
From what I have read this all seems reasonable. But does anyone have actual experience of CPs? Are there any tax snags or gothchas for the unwary?
