Accidental fruits of Labour - 2001 - Estates Gazette (0102) 13 January 2001, 139(1) .

Describes plans to introduce a tax deferral relief that will allow companies who sell a substantial holding, defined by the Inland Revenue at 20%, to avoid paying tax on the proceeds of the sale if they are reinvested in a similar holding in a new trading company. Although aimed at discouraging multinationals from investing through foreign rather than UK companies the move is expected to encourage the property development industry.
