https://www.rossmartin.co.uk/sme-tax-news/1091-letting-qualifies-as-business

The UTT decided that the FTT had erred in law and decided that ordinary property letting:

Is not a trading activity - Griffiths v Jackson; Grifiths v Pearmain 56 TC 583.


I think this means that S152 et al do not apply.

Read here and unfortunately apart from FURNISHED HOLIDAY LETTING the simple letting of domestic property is not a trade and therefore you are not a trader ( in relation to the simple letting) and you cannot get S152 deferral relief

That relates to business assets. Your property doesn't qualify.

Hello All

Thank for your help so far.

Trying to get my head around this. It seems that under Sec 22 and 23 of the tcga 1992 I coudl reduce the chargeable gain if I reinvest the proceeds of the sale.

Can any kind person put this in simple language for me please/

Are you sure you mean ss 22 and 23?

Just following on from what the others have said, there is no rollover/holdover available on the sale of a single residential property. Without meaning to be rude, you can stop researching.

The only practical option you have available to defer the tax would be to reinvest the proceeds into SEIS (which would give you a small exemption as well) or EIS qualifying shares which would allow you to defer the tax until you sell these shares. HOWEVER THESE ARE HIGH RISK INVESTMENTS AND PROBABLY COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE FOR YOUR RETIREMENT PLANNING. So please don't do this and risk losing all your money to save £100k.
