How many of these ‘business’ hallmarks can you tick off the list?

admin

If you are hoping to incorporate your rental property portfolio and to roll CGT crystallised into shares in the company you are incorporating into then you will need to qualify for relief under s162 TCGA 1992. The main qualifying criteria for this relief is that HMRC accept that you are running a business.

How many of these questions would you feel comfortable answering if an HMRC inspector was to ask:-

What is your business name?

Does your business have its own Unique Tax Reference number “UTR”?

Do you have a bank account in your business name?

Do you have business letterhead?

Do you have a business telephone number?

Does your business have a website?

Do you have a business email address?

Does your business have an office?

Do you have business cards?

Does your business have any employees?

Does your business have a balance sheet produced regularly?

Does your business produce management accounts?

You don’t have to have all of these things in place to qualify for incorporation relief but if you have none of them HMRC are more likely to consider that you are curating an investment portfolio than running a property rental business.

I’m not saying they are right but perceptions could prove to be important if you are hoping to incorporate your rental property portfolio and claim incorporation relief to roll CGT crystallised upon incorporation into shares in the company you are incorporating into.
