Capital Gains Tax

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is charged on your net gains during a tax year:-

  • CGT is charged on disposals during the tax year, after deducting total allowable losses
  • You can carry forward losses from previous years
  • CGT arises on disposal of an asset - normally on sale, but gifts, insurance claims or compensation for losses can be chargeable disposals
  • The value of the gain is normally the amount you receive, but gifts and certain sales may be valued at the open market value
  • CGT is not normally payable on death
