Entrepeneur relief on private sale of building when doing ESC C16 rather than a 'sale' of the shares?

Entrepeneur relief on private sale of building...

Didn't find your answer?

A limited company 'shopkeeper' is selling his business next year out of the limited company.

He is also selling the business premises which are owned personally.

We have established that if he were to be selling the shares in a limited company to the purchaser then the associated disposal of the building would be covered by the entrepreneur relief.

However, the purchaser wishes to buy the goodwill out of the limited company and then we would wind up promptly with ESC C16.

Obviously we are concerned about this and need to take action before the end of the tax year to rearrange matters if there is still uncertainty.

Many thanks if anybody can point us in the right direction.
