I have joined a small "family run" business with a contract to get it ready for sale in 2 years,deal is 14% of sale price.How can i minimise my tax on the proceeds of the sale? Should i set up another company to pay the sale funds into or what?

Not sure if this is correct or not (I'm sure I'll get shot down in flames if not), but can you not "buy" 14% of the current shares in the company. Then when they are sold in two years, you have 14% of the proceeds. Or even have a new class of share issued.
You would then have a capital gain, but that should be eligible for business asset taper relief which would reduce the gain by 75%, leaving 25% chargeable. You then have your annaul allowance over and above that.Today is the first day of the rest of your life0
