Q

TYU1: Donna bought some shares in ABC Ltd, an unquoted trading company, on 1 May 2013

She sold the shares on 1 Oct 2018 and on 1 Nov 2018 used the proceeds to buy more shares in XYZ Ltd, another unquoted trading company

Donna gave the shares to her daughter Bella on 1 July 2019

State whether BPR applies to the transfer to Bella

A

Donna had not owned the shares in XYZ Ltd for 2 years before the transfer on 1 July 2019 (she had owned them since 1 Nov 18)

However, since the shares in XYZ Ltd replaced the shares in ABC Ltd and the period of ownership in the 5 years before transfer exceeded 2 years in total (1 July 14 - 1 October 18 and 1 Nov 18 - 1 July 19) the ownership requirement for this transfer is satisfied
