CGT Reliefs

CGT relief; capital gains tax

Investors need to have a clear understanding of what tax reliefs are available to them prior to making an investment in shares in a trading company.

There are various CGT reliefs available and the one most suited to an Investor will depend on the individual's circumstances. In summary the reliefs available are:-

  • Entrepreneurs' Relief for active directors and employee investors
  • EIS or SEIS relief for business "angels", or
  • Investors's Relief - for those that do not qualify for any of the above.

The attached summary sets out the key tax reliefs and points which should be considered as a start. However, as with all "matters tax", the devil is in the detail, and before proceeding it is wise to seek full, detailed advice.
