The proceeds from selling a house are normally liable if it was a rental investment or a second home.
Both companies and individuals must pay CGT, but there are different rules and exemptions for each.
Essentially, CGT is charged on the proceeds of a sale, or the market value of a gift, less its original cost, and after any selling and improvement expenses have been taken into account.
As the asset was a seasonal boat hire franchise, the market value was not easily quantifiable and probably a little time consuming for the tax officer. thus I think the £1 transferConfusion is a natural state of beingComment
