Capital Gains Relief That Protects What You Have Built

When you sell a business asset, shares, or property, the tax on the gain can be substantial. Fortunately, the UK tax system offers several capital gains tax reliefs that can reduce or defer this liability. At striveX, we help business owners and directors identify and claim the reliefs available to them, ensuring they retain more of the wealth they have created.

Why Capital Gains Tax Planning Is Essential

Capital gains tax can take a significant bite out of your proceeds when you sell a business, shares, or investment property. Without proper planning, you may pay more tax than necessary. The UK offers several valuable reliefs, including Business Asset Disposal Relief, rollover relief, holdover relief, and EIS deferral relief, each with its own conditions and limits.

At striveX, we review your asset base, timeline, and objectives to identify the most appropriate reliefs. We model the tax impact of different strategies, advise on timing, and ensure every claim is properly documented. Our clients include business owners preparing for exit, landlords restructuring portfolios, and investors seeking to defer gains.

The rules around capital gains tax reliefs change regularly. Our team stays current with every change, ensuring your planning is based on the latest legislation and case law.

Tell us a little about your business and goals, and we’ll review whether StriveX is the right fit for your next stage of growth.

Our Capital Gains Tax Relief Services

We offer a comprehensive capital gains tax advisory service that covers every aspect of relief identification, planning, and claiming.

1. Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR):

We advise on the conditions for claiming BADR (formerly Entrepreneurs’ Relief), including the minimum shareholding period, officer or employee status, and trading company requirements.

2. Rollover relief:

If you are selling a business asset and reinvesting in another, we help you claim rollover relief to defer the gain. We ensure the replacement asset meets the conditions and the timing requirements are satisfied.

3. Holdover relief:

For gifts of business assets, we help you claim holdover relief to defer the gain until the recipient disposes of the asset. We handle the joint election and documentation.

4. EIS and SEIS deferral relief:

We advise on investing in Enterprise Investment Scheme or Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme companies to defer or exempt capital gains. We ensure your investment meets the qualifying conditions.

5. Principal private residence relief:

For property disposals, we advise on principal private residence relief, including the final period exemption, lettings relief, and mixed-use properties.

6. Comprehensive tax planning:

We integrate capital gains planning with your wider tax strategy, considering income tax, inheritance tax, and corporation tax to ensure every decision is optimised across your entire position.

Rollover relief allows you to defer capital gains tax when you sell a business asset and reinvest the proceeds in a new qualifying business asset. We help you navigate the conditions and ensure your claim is valid.
Holdover relief allows you to defer capital gains tax when you gift business assets. The gain is held over until the recipient sells the asset. We prepare the joint election and ensure all conditions are met.
Investing in an Enterprise Investment Scheme company allows you to defer capital gains from other disposals. If you hold the shares for at least three years, the deferred gain may be permanently exempt. We advise on qualifying investments and handle the paperwork.
If you have owned at least 5% of the shares for at least two years and are an officer or employee, you may qualify for BADR, which reduces the tax rate to 10% on lifetime gains up to £1 million. We assess your eligibility and ensure all conditions are satisfied.
