October 2024 Budget: Act Now to Secure Business Asset Disposal Relief for Your Solvent Company

September 17, 2024

At the end of October 2024 the budget looms, business owners looking to sell or wind down their solvent companies via Members' Voluntary Liquidations (MVLs) should take action to secure Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) while it remains available. Formerly known as Entrepreneurs’ Relief, BADR allows business owners to reduce Capital Gains Tax on the sale of a business to just 10%, potentially saving up to £100,000 per person under the current lifetime cap of £1 million.

For years, speculation has surrounded the future of BADR, particularly in light of rising government debt. Each new budget raises questions over whether the relief will be reduced or even scrapped altogether. The March 2020 budget saw a cap placed on the relief, but since then, it has remained untouched. With a new government facing a £22 billion fiscal gap, there is significant concern that the October budget could target BADR for cuts or elimination.

In response to the uncertainty, Parker Walsh has reported an increase in enquiries about completing MVLs before the October budget. Directors aiming to take advantage of the 10% tax rate are advised to act quickly to allow enough time for asset distribution before the budget.
