Formerly Entrepreneurs Relief: Welcome to Business Asset Disposal Relief

The world of taxation is ever-changing and staying informed is key to making sound financial decisions, especially in the midst of changes brought on by significant events like the Covid-19 pandemic. With more individuals venturing into side hustles and entrepreneurship, understanding tax implications becomes increasingly vital. That's where The Tax Faculty LLP comes in, guiding you through the intricacies of tax law with our expertise.

You may have heard of Entrepreneurs Relief; well, it's now known as Business Asset Disposal Relief. But the name change isn't the only thing to note. This relief, which came into effect from 6th April 2008, aims to lessen the burden of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when you sell qualifying business assets. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting your business journey, this relief could be a game-changer for your tax efficiency strategy

What is Business Asset Disposal Relief?

Individuals and certain trustees of settlements can claim Business Asset Disposal Relief. However, it's important to note that companies are ineligible. If you're a personal representative, you can only claim if the disposal occurred while the deceased individual was alive. To delve deeper into qualification criteria, consult our experts or refer to HMRC's Capital Gains Tax Manual.

Who Qualifies for Relief?

Entitlement to Business Asset Disposal Relief means qualifying gains up to the lifetime limit applicable at the time of disposal are subject to a CGT rate of 10%. It's essential to keep track of the lifetime limit to maximise the relief's benefits. Any gains exceeding the limit are taxed at the standard CGT rate.

What Amount is Available with the Relief?

What are the Qualifying Conditions?

To claim relief successfully, you must meet specific conditions depending on the type of disposal. Whether it's the sale of your business, goodwill, assets post-business cessation, or shares in your personal company, understanding these conditions is paramount. Our team can provide detailed guidance tailored to your situation.
