A woman owned a pet shop which she ran as a sole trader. She decided to sell the pet shop and become a partner in a dog grooming salon which has been operating for a number of years. When the woman joined the partnership, she took out a loan of £10,000 at an annual interest rate of 10% to purchase her partnership share. The loan is still outstanding in full. In the 2023/24 tax year the woman’s share of partnership profits was £38,000.
It took longer than the woman anticipated to find a buyer for the pet shop but she completed the sale on 6 April 2023 making a profit on the sale of £10,000.
