Dear Sir
I am having an issue regarding Entrepreneur relief. Question is as follows:
On 30 June 2018, Michael sold a business that he had run as a sole trader since 1 Jan 2014. He realised the following gains and losses on the chargeable assets of the business:
Goodwill 60,000.
Freehold Property 64,000
Storage Unit (13,000)
The Goodwill has been built up since 1 Jan 2014. The Freehold property had been acquired for 6 months prior to the date of disposal and the storage unit had been acquired for on 1 June 2015.
Question:
What is the net chargeable gain on the disposal of the sole trader business on 30 June 2018 that qualifies for entrepreneur relief?
Answer is:
Disposal of business:
Goodwill 60,000
Freehold 64,000
Storage (13,000)
Net ER=111,000but in my notes its written Assets must have been owned for 1 year minimum prior to the date of disposal, then how come the freehold property is included in the gains qualifying for ER as it has been acquired 6 months prior to disposal.
Please help
