on 10 january 2016,delroy made a gift of 25000 £1 ordinary shares in dub ltd, an unquoted trading company, to his son grant. the market value of the shares on that was £240000. delroy had subscribed for the 25000 shares in dub ltd at par on 1 july 2005. delroy and grant have elected to hold over the gain as a gift of a business asset.
grant sold the 25000 shares in dub ltd on 18 march 2016 for £240000
dub ltd has a share capital of 100000 £1 ordinary shares.delroy was the sales director of the company from its incorporation on 1 july 2005 until 10 january 2016.grant has never been an employee or a director of dub ltd.
for the tax year 2015/16,delroy and grant are both higher rate taxpayers. they have each made other disposals of assets during the tax year 2015/16, and therefore they have both already utilised their annual exempt amount for this year
what would the cgt implications would have been if delroy had instead sold the 25000 shares in dub ltd himself for £240000 on 10 january 2016, and then gifted the cash proceeds to grant?
1) entrepreneur’s relief would have been available
2) the cgt would have been paid later
3) the cash gift would not have been a chargeable disposal
4) the cash gift would have been qualified for holdover reliefOctober 9, 2016 at 9:43 pm #342836So what parts of the answer do you not then understand?
October 10, 2016 at 4:12 pm #342895we need to choose which are correct could u explain me why answer is 1 and 3
October 12, 2016 at 10:53 am #343037Are you telling me that you do not understand why either of statements 1 and 3 are correct and / or why statements 2 and 4 are incorrect?
If this is so then as I have advised many times previously you need to listen to the OT lectures and study the OT course notes in more detail.
Give me your thoughts on each of the statements as to why you think them to be true or false. - AuthorPosts
