Interesting. In my country the difference between purchase/inheritance price and selling price is a capital gain or loss. It can only be offset against other capital gains/losses, not against income.

But a low selling price close to time of inheritance can get the inheritance value adjusted down, which will reduce inheritance tax. Normally though, on the properties I have bought, inheritance tax isn't an issue cos u r allowed to inherit a sum well into the six figures (I think it is £185.000) before paying any taxes on the remainder above that amount.
