In certain situations, gift relief is available to defer capital gains on gifts of business assets, which would otherwise be immediately chargeable to CGT.

This guidance covers restrictions on gift relief where a transferor gives away shares of a company holding non-business assets or where only part of an asset or holding period was used for business purposes.

For an introduction to gift relief for business assets, including the definition of business assets, and information about making claims and the possibility of paying tax in instalments, see the Gift relief for business assets guidance note.
