PETER RAYNEY FCA, FTII, TEP extols the virtues of a nifty taper relief dilution spreadsheet program which he has devised.
In the post Finance Act 2000 capital gains tax business asset taper relief régime, I have seen a number of taper relief permutations beginning to emerge on the sale of owner managed business shareholdings. Certain situations tend to repeat themselves, such as where the shareholder's pre-6 April 2000 taper period did not qualify as a business one under the tighter criteria in the original Finance Act 1998 rules.
