Are you thinking about selling your limited business?
Maybe you’re considering retirement or going back into full time work?
If you want to sell all the assets that you’ve accumulated from a company which is no longer trading, then you may have to pay Capital Gains Tax. This applies when you’ve made a profit on the original price of what you’re selling.
The regular rate of Capital Gains Tax is 18%, or 28% for people paying more than the basic rate of income tax.
However, applying for Entrepreneurs’ Relief allows sellers to only pay a reduced rate of 10% on the sale. This incentive was introduced in 2008 to encourage people to set up and grow businesses, creating jobs and economic growth.
