Events & Webinars, Insights

At our tax webinar on Tuesday 12 March, with the Finance Act 2019 now in the books, Anthony Newgrosh and David Simpson looked in detail at the revised rules on claiming entrepreneurs’ relief (ER) on a share disposal. They also looked again at investors’ relief (IR), now that it will become possible to claim the relief for the first time from 6 April.

The discussion included:

  • The new dilution relief

Investors’ relief: a refresher

  • How does IR work?
  • Outline of the qualifying conditions
  • How does IR relate to the ER and Enterprise Investment Scheme provisions?
  • Is it possible to claim both ER and IR on the same disposal?
