51 Associated disposal? MR BLOGGS BLOGGS LTD

52 Company distributions CGT or IT? 52

53 HMRC Guidance on Winding up TAAR Sections 35 in Finance Act introduced Targeted Anti- Avoidance Rule ITTOIA 2005 section S396B and s404a Certain distributions on a winding up taxed as income not CGT = up to 38.1% rather than 10% Applies to transactions from 6 April 2016 New HMRC Manual Guidance - CTM36300

54 Liquidations taxed as income if: A close company is wound up and an individual (S) with a material interest (5%) receives proceeds from the shares Within two years of that distribution S (or a connected person) continues to be, or becomes, involved in a similar trade or activity; and One of the main purposes of the winding up is to obtain a tax advantage Note successor could be unincorporated business

55 Company distributions Company Liquidation previously taxed as Gain = 10% with entrepreneurs relief Where income accumulated in company may now be taxed as income? Finance Act 2016 Profits 1,000,000 Less corporation tax 20% (200,000) Retained profit 800,000 10% (80,000) Net cash to shareholder 720,000 28% tax Dividends taxed at 7.5%,32.5%, 38.1% now

56 Company liquidations if income If distributed as a dividend: Profits 1,000,000 Less corporation tax 20% (200,000) Retained profit 800, % (AR) (304,800) Net cash to shareholder 495, % tax

57 Similar trade or activity - example 2 Mrs F has been the sole shareholder of a company which carries on the trade of landscape gardening for ten years. Mrs F decides to wind up the business and retire. Because she no longer needs a company she liquidates the company and receives a distribution in a winding up. To subsidise her pension, Mrs F continues to do a small amount of gardening in his local village. Condition C similar trade or activity, BUT CGT treatment would not apply if arrangements do not appear to have tax as a main purpose (condition D)

58 Similar trade or activity - example 3 Mr E is a builder who runs his business through two companies Company 1 specialises in loft conversions, and Company 2 specialises in extensions. Mr E winds up Company 1, but the trade of Company 2 continues. As with Example 2, Mr E continues to be involved with a trade that is similar to that of the company that is wound up, and so Condition C is satisfied.

59 Continues to be involved in similar trade or activity Mrs C, an accountant runs her business through a company. Her husband is a self-employed lion tamer. Mrs C winds up her company and starts work for a newlyformed company owned by her husband, providing accountancy services. Mrs C continues to be involved with the same trade or activity as the wound-up company was involved with (the provision of accountancy services), even though she is now an employee rather than business owner. She is connected to her husband and so Condition C is met. Condition D will still need to be satisfied.

60 Condition D section 396B S396B applies Condition D where: it is reasonable to assume, having regard to all the circumstances, that 1. The main purpose, or one of the main purposes of the winding up is the avoidance or reduction of a charge to income tax, or 2. The winding up forms part of arrangements the main purpose or one of the main purposes of which is the avoidance or reduction of a charge to income tax

61 Factors HMRC will consider: Is there a tax advantage, and if so, is its size consistent with a decision to wind-up a company to obtain it? To what extent does the trade or activity carried on after the winding-up resemble the trade or activity carried on by the wound-up company? What is the involvement in that trade or activity by the individual who received the distribution? To what extent have their working practices changed? Are there any special circumstances? For example, is the individual merely supplying short-term consultancy to the new owners of the trade?

62 Factors HMRC will consider: How much influence did the person have over the arrangements? Is it a reasonable inference that arrangements were entered into to secure this advantage? Is there a pattern, for instance have previous companies with similar activities been wound-up? What other factors might be present to lead to a decision to wind-up? Are these commercial and independent of tax benefits? Any events linked with the winding-up that might reasonably be taken into account? For example, was the only trade sold to a third party, leaving just the proceeds of the sale?

63 Exclusions: Distribution does not create chargeable gain Repayment of base cost of shares Distribution of irredeemable shares/ Demergers Where shareholder receives shares in a new company and that new company receives all of the assets of the old. Although it is arguable that there is a tax advantage here, the chargeable gains legislation provides an exemption for reconstructions

77 Property disposals 20% instead of 28% CGT Cliff sells property in November 2016 for 300,000 making a capital gain of 100,000. Reinvest the 100,000 gain in EIS shares Jan The 100,000 gain would be deferred until the EIS shares are sold and the 28,000 CGT not payable If unconnected deduct 30,000 (30%) IT liability Cliff sells the EIS shares in February 2020 for 105,000. 5,000 gain on the EIS shares exempt from CGT The 100,000 deferred gain comes back into charge at the general rate 20%, so just 20,000 CGT payable.
