Guidance

This guidance note discusses the application of business asset disposal relief (BADR) for partners only. BADR is a capital gains tax relief which reduces the rate of tax on qualifying gains to 10%.

The rate of BADR will increase to 14% for disposals made on or after 6 April 2025, and from 14% to 18% for disposals made on or after 6 April 2026.
