    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

    Sale of business: Goodwill (£150,000 – £0) 150,000
    Not qualifying for BADR
    Necklace 12,353

    Good day,please i don’t understand why the sale proceed on 200000 was not used in the calculation of chargeable gains for the sale of the business and why 150000 was used instead.I’ll appreciate if you can explain better.Thank you

    She received 200k for the whoel business and this will include items that are not subject to CGT
    The only asset chargeable to capital gains is the goodwill of 150k
