We are now supported by the Department for the Economy. That support reflects growing confidence in employee ownership as a credible business succession and growth model. The Department for the Economy has committed funding to encourage greater uptake of employee ownership across Northern Ireland. Read the Department for the Economy announcement Northern Ireland on the global radar In twelve months, our work has travelled far beyond Northern Ireland. People across the world have tracked the pace of growth with positive feedback from Denmark, Canada, the US and more. We have taken the message across the UK and Ireland.

It’s been encouraging, though, to see how quickly advisers, business owners and partners across Northern Ireland have engaged with the detail rather than the headlines. As many of you will know by now, the CGT relief on EOT sales has moved from 100% to 50%. It’s a significant shift, and it has naturally prompted questions about deal structure, timing and long-term value for founders who want to leave their business in the hands of their team. But even with this change, the EOT route remains a strong and viable option for succession — especially for owners who prioritise continuity, culture, legacy and local employment. The Employee Ownership Association has published an extremely useful breakdown of what’s changed, why it changed, and what to do next. If you’ve been trying to make sense of the technical detail, their Q&A is well worth a read: CGT Relief on the EOT – Your Questions Answered . A clearer way to understand the new numbers With so much discussion around what the Budget means in practice, we’ve launched a new tool that gives you a straightforward way to look at the numbers. The EOI CGT Comparison Calculator lets you compare a standard sale with an EOT sale under the new rules — showing estimated CGT, net proceeds and the actual difference the change makes. It’s not intended to replace tax advice, but it gives advisers and business owners in Northern Ireland a simple starting point for their conversations. Many of you have already told me how useful it has been when preparing for year-end planning meetings. Try the CGT Comparison Calculator Highlights from this year’s EOA Conference — a packed two days with honest conversations and practical insights. What we learned from the 2025 EOA Conference The EOA has also published its conference takeaways, and there’s a lot in there that resonates with the conversations we’ve been having in NI. This year’s theme — “Owning the Future” — encouraged a more open, honest look at employee ownership: not just where it works beautifully, but also where it stretches leadership teams and requires new habits. One of the strongest messages was the need for real transparency. People want to hear what EO looks like behind the scenes — how boards make decisions, how trustees handle difficult situations, and how employee voice fits into day-to-day operations. Culture and governance came through as the bedrock of long-term success. If you’d like to dig deeper, the EOA’s summary is an excellent read: Read the 2025 Conference Takeaways . Training and events to look out for If the Budget changes have prompted new questions — or if you’d like to strengthen your understanding of EO governance, culture or trustee responsibilities — there’s a lot coming up over the next few months. The EOA’s events programme remains one of the best places to start, with workshops covering everything from trustee development to the practical realities of building an ownership culture. Many sessions are online, making them accessible from Northern Ireland. View EOA events Co-operative Development Scotland and Scottish Enterprise continue to publish helpful resources too — especially case studies from businesses that have transitioned successfully. Explore CDS resources . And not to be left behind, we have some big news coming soon around our events in 2026, so keep an eye out for those! As always, if you’re working with a business that wants to understand what the CGT change means for them, or if you’d like help talking through the feasibility of an EOT, feel free to get in touch. These moments of change often spark the most valuable conversations. Employee Ownership Ireland — Be part of something bigger. Catherine Muldoon - [Budget Update](https://employeeownershipireland.com/news/2758/): Budget Update: What the New CGT Rules Mean for Employee Ownership The Budget has changed the Capital Gains Tax relief on Employee Ownership Trusts. The core question now is what this means for owners, advisers and succession planning in Northern Ireland. The relief on qualifying sales to Employee Ownership Trusts has moved from 100% to 50% and applies immediately. That change caught many owners and advisers off guard, but it also confirmed something important – government has chosen to keep the EOT model in place as a recognised succession route. What has actually changed? You now pay Capital Gains Tax on half of the gain. The other half is treated as neither a gain nor a loss. Most owners will face an effective rate of around 12%. That still compares favourably with other options: lower than the 14% Business Asset Disposal Relief rate on the first £1m of gain lower than the planned increase of BADR to 18% in April 2026 substantially lower than the 24% rate where no relief applies A new way to see the numbers clearly You can now use Employee Ownership Ireland’s CGT comparison calculator to see what this change could mean in practice. It helps you compare a standard sale and an EOT sale under the new rules, so you can move from headline percentages to real, deal-based figures. If you are talking to advisers, considering options with a co-owner, or testing scenarios for your own succession, this tool gives you a clearer starting point for those conversations. Try the CGT Comparison Calculator Why the model still works You might assume the change weakens EOTs. The reality is more nuanced. Many business owners were not aware of the 100% relief before the Budget. A lot of advisers were only starting to get to grips with it. For many, the news was not that the relief is reducing – it was that any relief exists at all. The relief still achieves its core aims: raising awareness of employee ownership among advisers and owners narrowing the difference in value between an EOT sale and a trade sale removing barriers that stop succession plans moving forward The wider benefits remain unchanged EOTs were never only about tax. Owners and employees repeatedly point to wider benefits that shape how the business feels and performs: stronger employee voice deeper commitment to the organisation improved retention smoother leadership transitions clearer long-term focus better alignment between people, purpose and performance None of these depend on a particular CGT rate. They come from the ownership structure, the culture it supports and the way decisions are made. Trade sales still carry the same risks The Budget has not changed the realities of a traditional sale. Many deals still: fall through late see buyers change terms with little warning shift decision-making outside Northern Ireland put jobs and culture under pressure leave owners unsure about the future of their legacy An EOT avoids these issues. It keeps decisions closer to the people who built the business. It supports continuity and still comes with a meaningful tax advantage. Our ambition remains the same. We want to see employee ownership grow across Northern Ireland. Our target of 10,000 employee owners by 2030 still stands and continues to guide our work. More support for owners and advisers Demand for practical, independent guidance is increasing. Employee Ownership Ireland is expanding the support available so that owners and advisers can move forward with confidence. This includes: updated guidance and practical resources an improved members’ area easier access to independent experts more peer-to-peer learning and networking This support will continue to grow over the months ahead as needs evolve.
