Example 1

K ran a confectioner/tobacconist business for several years. He then sold it and made a gain of 拢38,000 (바카라 사이트渞elevant gains바카라 사이트�) on the goodwill, but a loss of 拢8,000 (바카라 사이트渞elevant losses바카라 사이트�) on the premises. Assuming he qualified for the relief this is applied to the net gains of 拢30,000.

If the disposal took place before 23 June 2010 the 拢30,000 would be reduced by 4/9th to 拢16666. This will be the 바카라 사이트渃hargeable gain바카라 사이트� and is subject to reduction by other allowable losses and the AEA.

If the disposal took place on or after 23 June 2010 the 拢30,000 would be the 바카라 사이트渃hargeable gain바카라 사이트� and, subject to reduction by other allowable losses and the AEA, would be charged to CGT at 10%.

The loss of 拢8,000 on the premises is not otherwise allowable.

Example 2

D ran a pharmacy for over 20 years until March 2011. He sold the whole business as a going concern on 31 March 2011 realising a gain 拢5,250,000.

D had not previously claimed the relief. The gain qualifies for relief as a disposal of whole or part of a business - see CG64015 - and he makes a claim within the relevant time limit.

As the disposal was after 23 June 2010 but before 5 April 2011 D has the maximum relief of 拢5,000,000 qualifying gains available, so he is entitled to the whole of his lifetime limit and will have that amount of his gain charged at a rate of 10%. The balance of the gain of 拢250,000 will be charged at D바카라 사이트檚 relevant rate of CGT. Assuming that D had no other gains or allowable losses during the year the calculation will be as follows:

Example 3

E ran a landscaping business which she sold in October 2008 realising a gain of 拢900,000 all of which qualified for the relief (when the lifetime limit was 拢1m). In 2009 she started another business as a travel agent which she sold in February 2011 (lifetime limit now 拢5m) realising a gain of 拢4,500,000. E makes a second claim for relief on this second gain. It qualifies for relief but only 拢4,100,000 of the gains will be eligible for relief as this uses up the remaining amount of her lifetime limit (拢5,000,000 - 拢900,000).

Example 4

F operated a smallholding and also operated a fruit and vegetable shop. He sold the smallholding in January 2009 realising net gains of 拢1,250,000 in 2008/9 and claimed the relief. This was due up to the lifetime limit that applied at that time of 拢1m.

F then disposed of the shop in May 2010 (lifetime limit now 拢2m) realising net gains of 拢800,000 and made a second claim for relief. This second gain all qualifies for relief as a result of the increase in the lifetime limit from 拢1m to 拢2m. Although only 拢800,000 of this increase has been used the balance remaining cannot be set back against the unrelieved gains on the earlier disposal, it can only be carried forward.
