Details

This measure changes the rules governing when capital gains tax payments must be made to HMRC in respect of exit charges. Exit charges can arise on unrealised gains when a:

  • trust ceases to be resident in the UK
  • assets cease to be used in a trade carried on through a branch or agency in the UK.

This measure provides that in certain circumstances payment of these charges can be deferred.
