If you transfer business assets or in some cases shares to the buyer at less than present value to help him\/her, you can claim Gift Holdover Relief. Essentially Gift Hold Over Relief means you do not have to pay capital gains tax<\/a> on gift transfers. The person who is receiving the gift will be liable to pay capital gains tax when he\/she disposes off the asset. As a general rule, any gifts made to husband\/wife and civil partner or a registered charity will be tax exempted.<\/p>\n

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR GIFT RELIEF?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether or not you get exemption with cgt holdover relief, it depends on whether you are giving away business assets or shares. Conditions and exemptions level vary for each.<\/p>\n

Giving Away Business Assets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gift relief is only available to sole traders or those having a minimum 5%\u00a0 of shares and voting rights in your \u2018personal company\u2019. In addition the assets must have been used in your business or personal company.<\/p>\n

Giving Away Business Shares:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can gift only shares of companies that are not listed on any stock exchange or shares of your personal company to be eligible for cgt holdover relief. Gift of any other type of company shares will not receive this relief.<\/p>\n

Above all, you must make sure that your company\u2019s main activities should relate to provision of goods or services, that is trading. Investment companies will not be eligible for this relief.<\/p>\n

HOW TO CALCULATE THE TAX IN GIFT HOLDOVER SITUATION?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you gift a garage worth \u00a375,000 to your brother for \u00a350,000, you are making a gift to your brother because you are selling it to him at less that present market value. However, if you have bought the garage for lets say \u00a340,000, you will still be liable for tax on the \u00a310,000 (50,000-40,000) gain that you made.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, your brother will have to consider cost when he will calculate<\/a> his gain on disposal of this garage and pay taxation as it is usually paid in capital gains scenarios.<\/p>\n

HOW TO MAKE THE CLAIM FOR RELIEF ON CAPITAL GAIN TAX ON GIFT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gift holdover relief is a joint claim. This means you will make a claim together with the person you are giving the gift to. Claim the relief by filling the form for \u201crelief for gifts and similar transactions helpsheet\u201d. It is best you fill and send the form at the time you are giving the gift. If you file your taxes online, you can attach a scanned copy of your form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
