The technical consultation ‘Allowing Entrepreneurs’ Relief on gains made before dilution’ is currently open: <em><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/688492/entrepreneurs_relief_consultation_web.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/688492/entrepreneurs_relief_consultation_web.pdf</a></em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition to this, HMRC published quantitative research in December 2017 into the effectiveness of ER at motivating behaviour. The findings showed relatively low levels of awareness of the relief at the point of investment, but that of those who were aware around half were influenced by it in their decision to invest. The government will continue to review the findings of this research in consultation with stakeholders.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-gains-tax-entrepreneurs-relief-behaviours-and-motivations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-gains-tax-entrepreneurs-relief-behaviours-and-motivations</a></p><p> </p><p>All tax policy is kept under review, and any changes are announced by the Chancellor as part of the usual Budget process.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 28/03/2018 16:34:30 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
