Entrepreneurs' tax relief

Overview

Entrepreneurs' relief reduces the tax payable on the sale on some or all of a business by someone who has shares in it or did so when it ceased. If all the conditions are met, you or your client will be eligible for tax relief, but what are those conditions and how can you be sure you’re getting the reliefs that you or your clients are due?
