Guidance

This guidance note discusses the application of business asset disposal relief (BADR) for sole traders only. Business asset disposal relief (BADR) is a capital gains tax (CGT) relief that allows business owners with chargeable gains on qualifying business assets to pay CGT at a rate of 14% for disposals made on or after 6 April 2025 (10% prior to this date). The relief is available on up to £1m of capital gains for each individual over their lifetime. The rate of BADR will increase to 18% for disposals made on or after 6 April 2026.

There are anti-forestalling rules which will apply due to the changes in general CGT rates from 30 October 2024 and the phased changes in BADR rates from 6 April 2025. For details, see the Conditions for business asset disposal relief guidance note.
