Sophia Wong
This scenario relates to two requirements.
Since receiving your advice in (a) above Sophia has unexpectedly received a very generous offer to buy her business. This coincided with discussions she has been having with a major law firm who are interested in employing her.
She has therefore now decided not to incorporate her business but instead to sell it to an unconnected third party for £200,000, to be received in cash on 1 May 2021. The only chargeable asset of Sophia Wong’s business is goodwill, the value of this asset has increased over a number of years to £150,000. The goodwill has a nil cost.
On 15 April 2021 Sophia sold a necklace realising a chargeable gain of £12,353.
Sophia will not make any other disposals during the tax year 2021/22. She will take a
long holiday before starting her new job and her taxable income (after deduction of
the personal allowance) for the tax year 2021/22 will be £20,000.
Required:
(1) Calculate Sophia Wong’s capital gains tax liability for the tax year 2021/22
assuming she sells her business on 1 May 2021 for £200,000 cash and she
makes any beneficial elections. ?Capital gains tax liability – 2021/22
