@richardgough said: Doesn't work. The £150k is a gift (PET); the legal agreement makes it a GWROB. Legal ownership, based on the legal agreement, makes it the donor's asset, so it is a taxable entity. An ISA cannot be owned by anyone other tha…

All OK now. I have an answer.

We use cashflow forecasting.
