Q&A: Tax implications when selling a business

I own 25% of a company that I have worked for for the last 6 years. The company was initially a sole trader (run by somebody else) but 4 years ago it became a LTD company. The original sole trader still owns the other 75% of the company. If we were to sell the company now, say for instance for £4m, I would obviously be entitled to 25% of that = £1m. What are my tax implications on this amount?
