I looked online including on Revenue.ie and other sites but can't find (or am too think to identify) a definitive answer to the following, purely hypothetical question:-
Can the 100% shareholder of a small Ltd company set up with €100 share capital back in 1980 who meets all the criteria for retirement relief but doesn't have family succession and can't find a buyer for his business, wind the business down through an orderly liquidation (collect all debts, pay all liabilities, redundancy and tax due etc) and distribute the €500,000 net proceeds (to himself) whilst claiming retirement relief or will he have to pay CGT on the €499,900 capital gain?
Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
