VATREG30600 - Transfers of going concerns (TOGC): transfer of stocks and assets

If the conditions for a TOGC as set out in VTOGC are met:

• the transfer of assets (including stock in trade and goodwill) is not a taxable supply, and
• the transferor must not charge VAT.

This may also apply to the transfer of assets between two non-taxable persons.
