Further changes to Entrepreneur's Relief

As the Budget for 2020 looms closer, the chances are high that another tax relief may be further restricted or even abolished - CGT entrepreneurs’ relief. 

This relief allows business owners to pay just 10% CGT on the first £10 million of capital gains when they dispose of their business and was tightened up in the Autumn 2018 Budget. 

When first introduced, the relief only applied to the first £2 million of gains but the limit has been increased twice since 2008 to the current lifetime limit so the relief may be limited again in the March Budget.
