Just reading an earlier post about selling a car and i have just remembered something that is now worrying me. I bought my wife a car 13 months ago and i can't remember why now but there was a good reason i registered it in my name. It didn't make any difference to me as although in my name i classed it as my wifes car. Anyway a few months ago i transferred it to my wife, it was a genuine gesture of giving her something that was hers as sometimes she feels a little trapped as everything we have is in my name. I hadn't even considered BR or IVA at that stage and there was nothing devious in it at all. I am now worried that it will look suspicious and that the OR will want to have my wifes one and only posession or just as bad give me a BRU /BRO. The car is worth £1k maximum. Should i be worried? Do i declare it as i haven't actually sold a car?

Hi Hammy,

How much is the car worth and how was it paid for?

At this amount I wouldn’t worry have you a vehicle registered to you at the moment?

When did you purchase your car?

Where did the cash come from to pay for your wife’s car?

The figures concerned are sufficiently low to not cause an issue with the OR Hammy. I would imagine that this car is not worth a lot of money?

For an informal chat about any financial difficulties, or advice as to the options available, I can be contacted via my website - www.melaniegiles.com

Hi Hammy,

Seeing how the car was paid for and the amount of both cars, as Melanie mentions I would not be concerned.
