CGT on shares

[Iliketax]

Thanks, I’ll get some advice.

When you ask for advice, make sure you ask about whether s165 TCGA 1992 allows the gain to be heldover. That may be available for some unlisted shares but definitely not all.

Also, make sure that you understand any restrictions that the articles or shareholders agreements place on transferring shares. For example, some unlisted companies have preemption rights and transferring shares to a partner who is not a spouse may (or may not be) a permitted transfer.

Would you save that much tax by gifting the shares?

I guess you could always get married, gift the shares, and then get divorced.
