Family Partnerships

Perhaps the mostly commonly used vehicle for private clients and their families to invest are family partnerships.

The benefit of a family partnership is that it allows parents to transfer assets into the partnership that they believe will accumulate greater value into the future. Even though such a transfer may trigger some tax now, by carefully picking the appropriate assets and properly managing the set up, private clients can retain control over these assets, thereby limiting the exposure to gift or inheritance tax for their children in the future should the value of the assets grow in value.

A partnership agreement is created to regulate the running of the partnership. If any of the partners are minors, then their parents (trustees) normally enter into the partnership agreement on their behalf.

Please contact us for more information on the benefits of such a structure for you and your family moving forward.

Entrepreneur Relief, Retirement Relief and the Interaction Between the Two

February 21, 2023

The CGT reliefs commonly known as Entrepreneur Relief (“ER”) (contained in s.597AA TCA) and Retirement Relief (“RR”) (contained in both s.598 TCA where the disposal is to a third party), are well known and very valuable reliefs that are available to SME owners the length and breadth of Ireland. However, what is not well known or well understood, is the interaction between the two reliefs and how they apply simultaneously but more importantly how the reliefs can be maximised. We intend to deal with the interaction between RR on disposals to third parties under s.598 TCA and RR on disposals to children under s.599 TCA in a future article.
