This is because shares are a capital asset; you make a capital gain when you sell a capital asset for more than you paid for it. For individuals, capital gains attract a capital gains tax. However, you may be able to minimise your tax liability for capital gains arising from the sale of shares if you qualify for Investors\u2019 Relief. This article will explain what this is and how you might qualify as a company shareholder.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Investors\u2019 Relief&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2016, a new law arose <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/corporations\/lead-investors-capital-raising\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to encourage investors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to buy into unlisted companies and help them grow. Investors\u2019 Relief is a part of this, where the seller only pays the lower capital gains tax rate for certain qualifying transactions involving the sale of shares in unlisted companies. Currently, the lower rate is 10%.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"box box--icon box--info\">\n    <p>Where there is no Investors\u2019 Relief, unless your total income in the tax year is less than the upper rate threshold (currently around \u00a350,270), you may have to pay 20% on the gains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An Example&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Imagine you are a silent investor in a startup company. You provide \u00a310,000 in exchange for 20% of the shares in the company. Five years later, the company has grown substantially, and you find a buyer prepared to pay you \u00a320,000 for your shares.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you sell the shares for this price, you will have made a gain of \u00a310,000. In this scenario, the capital gains taxation for individuals allows you to make additional deductions for:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">incidental costs in buying or selling the shares, such as legal fees and brokerage fees; and&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">money spent defending the title to the shares (although this is unlikely to be an issue here).<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, if you spent \u00a3500 on legal fees buying the shares and \u00a31,000 in legal and brokerage costs selling them, the taxable gain on the sale of shares is \u00a38,500 (\u00a310,000 less \u00a3500 less \u00a31,000). If you make more than \u00a350,270 annually, you will pay 20% on \u00a38,500. This amounts to \u00a31,700, meaning you would only pocket \u00a36,800 in gains.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, if you qualify for Investors\u2019 Relief, you would only have to pay \u00a3870, meaning you get to keep \u00a37,640.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-7 lg:my-10 border-y-2 border-gray-100 py-7 lg:py-10 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start gap-10\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-52 mx-auto my-0! rounded\" src=\"https:\/\/img.legalvision.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/06164254\/uk-startup-manual-290x410-1.jpg\" alt=\"Front page of publication\"\n                 loading=\"lazy\" width=\"208\" height=\"298\">\n                <section>\n            <div class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">UK Startup Manual<\/div>\n            <div class=\"body-text\">\n                <p>LegalVision&#8217;s Startup Manual is essential reading material for any startup founder looking to launch and grow a successful startup.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go.legalvision.co.uk\/uk-startup-manual.html\" class=\" block px-5 py-3.5 max-w-fit bg-orange button__hover transition rounded text-white font-bold text-lg no-underline uppercase leading-tight text-center\" target=\"\" rel=\"\">Download Now<\/a>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Qualifying for Investors\u2019 Relief<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Only individuals can qualify for this, so whilst you may be able to, your company cannot.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Types of Shares<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To qualify for Investors\u2019 Relief, you must own ordinary shares in the company, so not preference shares that do not give you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/corporations\/shareholder-vote\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the right to vote at shareholder meetings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or shares through written shareholder resolutions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You must fully pay the shares to their nominal value. So, if you were issued \u00a310,000 shares and the shares had a nominal value of \u00a31 each, you must have paid the company \u00a310,000 by the time you sell the shares.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Type of Company&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company you own shares in must not be listed on the stock exchange, so likely a private company. It must also be a trading company rather than a company whose primary business is investing in other companies.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, if you own shares in a holding company, and the holding company sells its shares in another company, you may qualify for Investors\u2019 Relief.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Length of Ownership&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you sell the shares, you must have owned them for at least three years.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Relationship to the Company&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You cannot be an officer of the company or an employee of the company to qualify for Investors\u2019 Relief.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An officer is either a:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">director; or&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">company secretary.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Likewise, if you receive any salary or work on behalf of the company, you will likely be considered an employee of the company and, therefore, not qualify.

This means you pay 10% in taxes on the taxable gains, and you can claim up to \u00a319m under Investors\u2019 Relief throughout your life. However, to qualify, you must have fully paid for the shares in the company, and the company must not be listed on a stock exchange. You must have also owned the shares for at least three years before you sell them. Investors\u2019 Relief is only available to individuals, so is not available to companies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help with how Investors\u2019 Relief operates, our experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/corporate-lawyers-lp\/\">corporate lawyers<\/a> can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
