Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (Scotland) Act 2013 section Schedule 2 paragraph 16

Capital gains tax paid by the buyer on non-arm's length transactions

Schedule 2 paragraph 16 deals with situations where a buyer acquires a chargeable interest other than at arm's length (or between connected persons) and also becomes liable for the seller's capital gains tax on the disposal — it provides that the buyer's payment of that capital gains tax is not treated as chargeable consideration for LBTT purposes, but only if there is no other chargeable consideration for the transaction.
