What is Capital Gains Tax?

CGT is charged when you sell or dispose of a capital asset that has increased in value. You are charged on the profit you have made on the asset during the tax year.

The conditions associated with Capital Gains Tax include the following:

You can carry forward losses from previous years.
CGT arises on the 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.
