Sale of part of business

Sale of part of business

Didn't find your answer?

A corporate client of mine is selling approximately half of its business for £10,000 to a sole trader.

There will be approximately £1,000 of assets, the rest is goodwill.

To my mind therefore, the excess of £1,000 over TWDV of the assets and the £9,000 for goodwill will all be subject to corporation tax.

Is that correct?  I can't think of any other way of structuring it to take advantage of any available reliefs.  Have I missed anything?

Thanks for your help.

Correct

There are other ways of structuring to reduce tax but the professional fees will easily outweigh the tax savings on such a small deal.
