The relief means that any gain on the asset is &#39;Held-Over&#39; until the recipient of the gift sells or disposes of them. This is done by reducing the donee&#39;s acquisition cost by the amount of the held-over gain.<\/p>\n<p>The person gifting a qualifying asset is not subject to CGT on the gift. However, CGT may be payable where the asset is sold for less than it&rsquo;s worth. Gifts between spouses and civil partners do not trigger capital gains. A claim for the relief must be made jointly with the person to whom the gift was made.<\/p>\n<p>If you are giving away business assets you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>be a sole trader or business partner, or have at least 5% of voting rights in a company (known as your &#39;personal company&#39;)<\/li>\n<li>use the assets in your business or personal company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can usually get partial relief if you used the assets partly for your business.<\/p>\n<p>If you are giving away shares, then the shares must be in a company that&#39;s either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>not listed on any recognised stock exchange<\/li>\n<li>your personal company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The company&#39;s main activities must be in trading, for example providing goods or services, rather than non-trading activities like investment.<\/p>\n<div style='font-size:smaller' class='im_source'>Source: HM Revenue &#038; Customs   Tue, 31 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0100<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gift Hold-Over Relief is effectively a deferral of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4722,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[147,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
