Shaz is with a live audience and takes the example of a property entrepreneur who has 2 HMO properties that they want to change, sell and be able to claim entrepreneurs’ relief

Using this example Shaz explains the different options that will mean that the investor can ultimately sell and claim entrepreneur's relief if they follow the advice to meet the criteria set by HMRC

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If it’s a trading business you can claim entrepreneurs’ relief, but not if it’s an investment business
• Using your annual exemption and selling in different years will bring a small saving
• Change an HMO property into serviced accommodation, run for 2 years to qualify and then claim entrepreneurs’ relief and only pay 10% tax
• Entrepreneurs’ relief has a lifetime limit of a million pounds
• Entrepreneurs’ relief is applicable if you are selling your business or ceasing to trade
• SA property has to be commercially available for letting for 210 days every year and let for 105 days
• If you have more than one property you can use averaging out
• You can run as SA or move to serviced apartments/bed and  breakfast for 2 years after which you can sell and claim entrepreneurs’ relief

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are only paying 10% tax with entrepreneurs’ relief it’s a huge saving’

‘You have to offer more services than just a room’

‘Investment businesses can’t claim entrepreneurs' relief’
