Capital Gains Tax -
Taper Relief

 

There are two types of asset for Capital Gains Tax purposes:

• Business Assets
• Non-Business Assets

There is one way to describe Capital Gains Tax:

Complex

Potentially the top rate of Capital Gains Tax is 40%.
It can fall to 10% for Business Assets held for more than two years.
It can fall to 24 % for non-Business Assets held for more than 10 years.

Sounds simple but:

• What is a Business Asset?
• Can individuals qualify for Business Asset Taper Relief (BATR) on
   commercial property?
• What about periods prior to Taper Relief (05/04/1998)?
• What if an asset changes from Business Asset to non-Business Asset?
• ... and vice versa?
• What restarts the Taper Clock?
• How are companies taxed?

We pose the questions but to provide the answers for all circumstances would take too much space.

We will happily consider your circumstances. Please call on: 020 8876 1097
