CGT – BADR – HMRC query whether taxpayers have exceeded lifetime limit

15 Feb 2023

HMRC’s Wealthy External Forum is sending letters to individuals who have claimed business asset disposal relief in their 2021-22 tax returns. The letters are being sent where HMRC believe that:

  • the individuals have previously exceeded the £1 million lifetime limit (letter 1); or
  • the current claim has taken them over the limit (letter 2).

HMRC are asking recipients to check their position and respond either way. If a taxpayer fails to respond, HMRC may amend the return or open an enquiry.
