Finance Act 2015

Summary

1.This section changes the conditions which must be met in order for an individual to claim entrepreneurs’ relief (ER) on a disposal of his or her personal assets.

Under the new rules, such a disposal must be associated with a significant reduction in the claimant’s participation in the business in terms of his interest in the partnership’s assets or his shareholding in the company. The new rules come into effect in relation to disposals on or after 18 March 2015.
