The new intangibles

13 October 2005
Issue: 4029 / Categories: Forum & Feedback
My understanding is that from 1 April 2002 the new intangibles regime allows companies to claim a deduction for tax purposes based on goodwill amortisation as computed in the accounts...

However where goodwill was acquired from a related party the intangibles regime only applies to the goodwill that was created wholly after 31 March 2002. Does the word 'wholly' apply to the entire amount of the goodwill or only the part of the goodwill created since 31 March 2002?

If for instance a business was incorporated in September 2005 where the goodwill was deemed to be say £20 000 at 31 March 2002 and £50 000 at 30 September 2005 could any relief be claimed on the £30 000 of goodwill which had been generated since 31 March 2002 or is this an all or nothing test?
