Plumbly and others (Representatives of the Estate of S C Harbour Deceased) and Spencer (HM Inspector of Taxes): CA 17 Jun 1999

Retirement tax relief could be claimed by an individual on land owned through a limited company. There was no explicit requirement for direct ownership at the time of cessation. Here farmed land was sold by a limited company at the time of the owner’s retirement, but although no shares were sold, but the sale remained an ‘associated sale of assets.’
