BUDGET CHANGES TO CAPITAL GAINS TAX RELIEF FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

The recent budget has announced changes to the conditions relating to the availability of Entrepreneurs Relief.

Draft legislation has been published but it is possible that the final legislation will differ from the drafts currently circulating.

Entrepreneurs Relief has the effect of reducing the amount of Capital Gains Tax paid on disposals of businesses, or shares in a personal company, to 10% on up to £10 million worth of lifetime gains.
