Morning all,
Father is sole trader and retiring and son is forming a new company and purchasing the goodwill. As father's business was formed prior to 1 April 2002, is it a related party and no amortisation is allowable in company? I think this is the case but cannot find a specific example like this, only for incorporations being related parties.
Any comments appreciated.

This is a tortuous route that ends in disappointment I think
Under S835(5)(a) CTA 09 an associate of a participator in a close company is a related party to that companySon will be a participator in the close companyFor a definition of associate, S841(3) points you to S448 CTA 10......which confirms relatives are associatedS448(2)(b) confirms that parents are relatives
So dad is related to son's company, assuming (which I think we can) the company is close, and S884...1(a) CTA 09 says that the goodwill as treated as created before 01/04/2002 and therefore not within the intangibles regime under S882(1). Easy peasy.
Unless of course someone knows better.
