I'm about to buy a house with my British wife. What kind of tax implications are there? Is it better to keep it in her name (she's the one with the money anyway!) ha.
Vague question, I know, just not even sure what to ask at this point. I have a new, 2.5 years remaining, spouse visa.
Any thoughts?

No tax issues at purchase. But if you sell a home that you own you'll have to comply with both US and UK capital gains tax. If your spouse is the only owner then they'd only have to deal with UK tax.
