This is for 2 unrelated parties tenants in common with beneficial ownership (rental and proceeds of sale) 100% to one party. They are selling up soon and want to know if the CGT will only fall on the beneficial party.
When do you have to lodge the Declaration of Trust of beneficial ownership with HMRC?

Your tax returns to date are (at least technically) wrong and you need to sort that out before the sale.
HMRC would expect the income (and gain) to be divided equally, unless you tell them otherwise.
They'll most likely only be unhappy if the outcome means that you have paid less tax than you would have otherwise.
Assuming the deed of trust is genuine, and you can prove that, it's most likely just going to be a pain to sort out.

Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

It seems the registration of property at Land Registry is A & B , as tenants in common.
The DOT ( dated in 2011?) states the beneficial owner ( rental and sales proceeds) is B 100% only. If 100% rental income been reported in tax returns by B since 2011 , you have done nothing wrong and I don't think hmrc will be a great problem.
There may be problems with the conveyancing solicitor who is required to pay the proceeds from sale into a bank account belonging A+B ( name has to match the name of title holder in Land Registry ) . This does not match the existing dot which states B is 100% beneficiary .
If you want A&B to claim the capital gains allowance , you will have to terminate the existing DOT and revert to the status at Land Registry. I think you need to discuss the situation with the conveyancing solicitor before you decide to put the property on the market.

Just wanted to clear my confusion, if I have a Deed of Trust (TR1 form) in place with tenant in common which is more than one year old (when purchased the property), can I still inform the HMRC along with Form17 about the unequal split now? And is this necessary before sale of the property? Thanks

You can only use Form 17 within a fairly short time after the deed of trust is signed - I think it's 60 days.
Otherwise it's invalid.
So I think you'd need a new deed and Form 17 and you'd need to tell HMRC before sale if you want to use the unequal split for the disposal proceeds.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

by mlod42I own my house and am thinking of either buying another house for holiday letting or doing a let to buy - remortgaging my house onto a holiday let mortgage and buying a different house to live in myself.

Reply to Let to buy and tax deductionsby mlod42Also I suppose if I left things like my TV and washing machine at my current house and bought new ones at my new house if I did let to buy then I couldn't tax deduct the new ones so it might be worth moving them to the new place and buying new ones for my original house? It seems crazy if this is necessary...

Reply to Accountantby Gordon999If you don't require face to face meeting with accountant and have only one BTL property , you could use an online company such as twd for self assessment . ( I have no connection with this company and not making any recommendation ).

Reply to CORPORATION TAX Re: BUDGET 2021by Gordon999Corporation tax is set to rise to 25% in April 2023, up from the current rate of 19%.
Rishi Sunak announced in the Budget that companies with profits of £50,000 or less would remain at the current rate of 19%.
There would then be a taper for firms earning above £50,000, with...-
