Details
This measure will mean that ER will not be available to reduce Capital Gains Tax on disposals of the reputation and customer relationships associated with a business (the ‘goodwill’) to a close company to which the seller is related.
This change is made alongside a measure to restrict Corporation Tax deductions when goodwill is acquired from a related party on incorporation.
A draft legislation for this measure has been published at Draft legislation: Capital Gains Tax - denying Entrepreneurs’ Relief for disposals of goodwill to related companies.
