Q&A: Tax liabilities when selling a business
Q: I’m approaching retirement and looking to sell my business. Will there be taxes to pay?
A: Normally any profit on selling will be subject to capital gains tax - the first £7,100 of gains each year will always be exempt. CGT is normally charged at your top rate of income tax, but this rate falls the longer you have had the business.
