Dear Tutor,
Example 8: Richard acquired a 25% holding in an unquoted trading company in March 1991 for £60,000. He immediately became an employee of
the company.
In March 2017 he sold the shares to his son for £85,000 when their value was £200,000. Richard and his son claimed relief for a gift of a
business asset.
My Question:
As per lec note, “(a) When a claim for gift relief is made, the donor may lose entitlement to entrepreneurs’ relief”,
then in Example 8 when Richard claimed for gift relief why did we grant him entrepreneur’s relief by charging CGT rate of 10%, shouldn’t he lose the Entrepreneur’s relief for claiming gift relief?
Also, I didn’t quite understand point (b) “If the asset qualifies, then gift relief if claimed is applied before entrepreneurs’ relief”.
Thanks.
My apologies. I went through the lecture note and video tutorial once again and understood the concept now. So kindly do ignore this question.
Thanks.
Pleased you were able to solve your own question – always the best way to learn!
