Do DRO shares qualify for any UK tax reliefs?
As a trading company, DRO will qualify for the purposes of UK Business Asset Taper Relief. This means that a UK higher rate tax payer who holds shares in DRO for at least two years will only pay tax at 10% on any capital gain made on the shares. However there can be no assurance that DRO will or will continue to qualify if this way. You should take your own tax advice, as the availability of any relief will depend on your particular circumstances. Further information can be obtained from the Inland Revenue website.
