Capital gains tax advice for business

Based in the heart of Liverpool city centre, we support businesses throughout the North West and beyond, providing expert, user friendly advice on how to minimise their Capital Gains Tax liability.

An overview of Capital gains tax advice

If you’re selling, donating or giving away land, property, shares or another type of business asset, you’ll need to consider Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Failure to do so may result in being paid an unwelcome visit from the taxman.

In some instances, you won’t have to pay any tax at all. In others, you’ll be able to minimise your CGT liability. What’s more, the timing of certain legislative changes can be key, often making it preferable to dispose of an asset either prior to or following that change.

There are ways to make CGT work for you, minimising your liability and maximising the benefits of certain exemptions or reliefs. That said, capital gains tax can be something of a minefield, to say the least but, thankfully, not one you have to navigate by yourself.
