About this lesson

This lesson covers the key calculation: identifying the maximum deferral as the lower of proceeds or amount reinvested, reducing it by the cost of the old asset, and understanding how amortisation clawback affects your trading profit. You'll work through a practical example involving patent disposal and goodwill purchase to see how partial reinvestment changes your tax liability, equipping you to handle these relief claims confidently in exam scenarios.
