Creating a group

Avoiding CGT on shares when combing two companies into a group

Didn't find your answer?

A director owns 100% of shares in trading companies, company A and company B. He wants to transfer his holding in B to ownership by A to create a group with A the holding company. Whats the best way of avoiding any CGT or stamp duty.

he wants to move a business segment from one company to the other at a later date, but is also thinking of sucking profits up to the holding company via dividend

OP, take advice. You're being baffled with bullshit, rather than being dazzled with brilliance.
