Sir i very well understood the rationale behind no gain/no loss inter-spouse transfer, but i was just thinking an individual could do something similar with his/her son/daughter? As in just sell the asset at profit to a relative, use up his/her own available AEA and subsequently ask the relative to do the same and the chain can just continue as all gains get covered by different individuals’ AEA.
If I buy 100k into Shares and it’s grows to 124k quickly. Now I want to utilise ALL my 12k capital gains allowance for the year.
Do I sell 60k as half of it has made me 12k?
Or do I just sell 12k of it reducing it down to 112k?
If I did just 12k then this means I’m selling 12/124 just 10% so taking just 10% of the profit so 2.4k?So correct is to sell 60k? If I sell only 12k and then the following year it doesn’t move and stays at 112k. If I now sell it all it during second tax year overall made 24k minus 2.4k so 21.6k so have to pay tax on 21.6-12 so 9.6k?

Any response would be much appreciated.
