Passing on the family business

Our briefing considers the key issues involved in minimising capital taxes when passing on the family business or company. Capital tax implications vary according to the method and timing of disposal and our briefing includes a summary of the different forms of disposal used including types of sale, transfer and gifts.

When passing on the family business a key practical issue is to ensure that tax saving opportunities are maximised by securing the relief available and you will also find concise guidance regarding relief from CGT and IHT. In particular, we look at the availability of Entrepreneurs' Relief for CGT and Business Property Relief for IHT.

The briefing is intended as an overview and we will of course offer you specific advice as and when you need it.

Our briefing offers practical advice on the type of costs which can be claimed.

Other related tax areas such as the treatment of travel expenses and capital gains tax implications are also covered. If you have any questions or need any help with the tax position please contact us.
