PRACTICE NOTES
Sale of an EOT-owned company: UK tax and practical issues, including CGT, trustee duties, beneficiary tracing and PAYE/NICs
What is an employee ownership trust?
An employee ownership trust (EOT) is a type of employee benefit trust that meets defined statutory conditions within tax legislation. The Finance Act 2014 brought in specific tax advantages available to companies owned by an EOT and to individuals disposing of shares to an EOT. For general information on EOTs, including an outline of the key features and tax reliefs, see Practice Note: Employee ownership trusts. For a review of common pitfalls, and mistakes or misconceptions that can arise when creating or running an EOT, see Practice Note: Pitfalls of setting up and operating an employee ownership trust.
This Practice Note addresses selected tax and practical issues that may arise where the trustees of an EOT sell a company already owned by that EOT.
