CGT on land

 Our client intends to transfer a part of his agricultural land as a gift to his nephew with no monetary compensation.  Client has asked for advice on potential tax repurcussions.  I have done some research but cannot come up with a definitive answer with which I am comfortable  Does a CGT liability arise or does the gift qualify for 100% relief because it is "agricultural land"?  Would there be any other reliefs available?  

Thanks in advance!

If there is agricultural value attached to the land, then holdover under Sec 165(5) can be claimed, even if the agricultural value is less than the full value of the land.
