Subsidiaries: checklist for tax-efficient sales
Article Abstract:
Sales of subsidiary companies bring about many serious tax complications for the parent/holding company in the UK. The tax consequences are so serious that the parent/holding should predicate the negotiations leading up to the sale upon an understanding of the ramifications of the sale as it impacts on the parent/holding company's tax position. The key objective of the parent/holding company is to minimize the tax liability from the sale of the subsidiary and reduce hidden tax costs resulting from disposal. Issues that must be considered and dealt with include the CGT base value of the shares, pre-dividend strips, and capital losses within the group.
