We are familiar with the many complex reliefs and exemptions applying to this tax and are able to advise you how to avoid or defer payment through legitimate means. CGT is perhaps the easiest of taxes to avoid, provided advice is taken in advance.

Areas where savings can be achieved include:

• Tax efficient transfer of assets between spouses to utilise annual exemptions, losses and lower rates of tax
• Rollover relief claims
• Holdover relief claims
• Gifts of assets to minor children
• Enterprise Investment Scheme
• Tax efficient timing with regard to the crystallisation of capital losses

We now have the headline Entrepreneurs’ Relief - 10% capital gains rate for business assets after 12 months of ownership on up to £10m of gains. We can help you maximise this by ensuring that your business is structured correctly.

We are extremely familiar with the anti-avoidance legislation that HM Revenue & Customs can deploy and the more obvious pitfalls to avoid along the way. This is the case whether you are selling your business, company or property, or merely looking to use your annual exemption or other reliefs to mitigate taxation.
