What is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax is a tax paid after selling certain valuable assets, such as property or investments. The amount is calculated from the profit you make from the sale, based on the original cost and any allowable loss deductions.

It’s important to note that certain assets, such as your own home, may be exempt from Capital Gains Tax under certain conditions. There are also reliefs available that can reduce the amount of tax you pay on specific asset types.

Common assets that are subject to Capital Gains Tax include:

• Property: The sale of real estate, including residential and commercial properties.
• Investments: Profits from selling stocks, shares and other investments.
• Business Assets: Gains from selling business assets, such as machinery.
• Personal Possessions: Certain valuable personal possessions, like artwork or antiques, that are worth more than £6000.
• Cryptocurrency: Profits from selling cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

The rules can vary, however, so it’s advisable to seek professional advice from an experienced accountant to understand the specific implications for your situation.

What is Capital Gains Tax Allowance?

The Capital Gains Tax Allowance (or Annual Exempt Amount) is the maximum amount of profit you can make from selling high value assets without having to pay tax on it.

The allowance resets yearly and the amount may change depending on HMRC and Government regulations. You’ll only pay tax on profits exceeding the limit.

The current Capital Gains Tax allowance for 2023/24 is £6000. For trusts, the limit is £3000.
