ownership TrusTs
As all employees get an indirect stake
in the company there are also
substantial practice benefits associated
in being owned by an EOT; improved
business performance, reduced
absenteeism and a drive for innovation
are just some of the benefits recorded.
It should also be possible for selling
shareholders to claim a full capital
gains tax exemption on the disposal of
their shares.
If you own a trading company, you can
sell some or all of your shares to an
employee ownership trust (EOT) for
full market value. This isn’t just limited
to traditional companies either,
Limited Liability Partnerships and
companies that are part of a bigger
group can also adopt an EOT.
BDO has organised this members’
event to provide a full insight into EOTs
and setting up this corporate structure.
●●Time: 08:00 AM - 09:30 AM
