So-called ‘business’ hold-over and business asset disposal relief (formerly entrepreneurs’ relief), are dealt with in the Holdover relief for disposals by trustees and Business asset disposal relief (entrepreneurs’ relief) ― trusts guidance notes.

Except where noted otherwise, these reliefs are available both to personal representatives and to trustees. For brevity, this note omits any further reference to personal representatives except where such reliefs specifically do not apply or are not available to them.

Rollover relief on replacement of business assets

Rollover relief enables the gain arising on the disposal of certain types of business assets to be deferred if other qualifying assets are acquired within the period commencing one year before and ending three years after the date of the disposal.
