answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2019 answer text <p>Where businesses dispose of assets, they may qualify for capital gains tax relief if the proceeds are reinvested in new business assets (known as Business Asset Rollover Relief). Land used for “short rotation coppice” (i.e. cutting back a tree at intervals of less than 10 years to harvest the stems) is defined by statute as land used for farming activities. Forestry businesses on woodland where trees are felled less frequently may still qualify for this relief, where they can demonstrate that the woodland is managed on a commercial basis and with a view to the realisation of profits.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 03/07/2019 13:55:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
