The Chartered Institute of Taxation has published a useful guide to some of the practical issues relating to a claim for Entrepreneurs' Relief. The guide is based on a series of Questions and Answers derived from ongoing discussions with HM Revenue & Customs.

Issues covered include:

• Can the disposal precede cessation of trade and still qualify, despite what the legislation says?
• What constitutes the qualifying disposal of a part of a business?
• The exercise of share options that might dilute a shareholding below the necessary 5%
• What is the time limit between a qualifying material disposal and an associated disposal - is there one?
• Applying for a ruling on whether or not a company is 'trading' for the purposes of Entrepreneurs' Relief

The guide can be found at: Entrepreneurs' Relief (ER) - Practical Points
