    Sarah Bradford examines the default 50:50 rule when taxing income from the jointly-owned property of spouses or civil partners and explains how to avoid falling foul of the rule.

    It is difficult to think of a scheme more strongly disliked by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) than the ‘home loan’ (sometimes referred to as the ‘IOU’) scheme for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes.
