This guidance note provides an overview of the key factors to take into account on the transfer of premises used for business purposes as part of a trade and asset sale. A wide range of potential tax implications need to be considered and the final treatment will depend upon a number of influencing factors such as the value of the property, the nature or use of the property, the capital allowances history and the availability of any reliefs for example.
