In the tax year 2024/2025, an individual’s CGT allowance is £3000.
This means you do not have to pay tax on gains from buying and selling shares or other investments during the tax year up to that amount. You do not normally have to pay tax on any gain you make when you sell your main residence.

For trustees and higher/additional rate taxpayers(1) | 20% | 20% |
Annual exempt amount - individuals | £6,000 | £3,000 |

(1). These rates do not apply to transactions involving residential property (the sale of second homes) or carried interest (the share of profits or gains that is paid to asset managers). CGT rates for these transactions remain at 18% (standard rate taxpayers) and 28% (higher rate taxpayers).
If you have used your CGT allowance, don't forget your Individual Savings Account (ISA) allowance. Both a 'Cash ISA' and a 'Stocks and Shares ISA' can shelter capital gains on investments, for example unit trust holdings, worth up to £20,000 per year.
From 6th April 2008 Taper Relief was removed and a new relief called 'Entrepreneurs' relief' was introduced to reduce the Capital Gains Liabilities on the disposal of certain business assets.
CGT is a tax on capital 'gains'. If when you sell or give away an asset it has increased in value, you may be taxed on the 'gain' (profit). This doesn't apply when you sell personal belongings worth £3,000 or less or, in most cases, your main home.
You may have to pay CGT if, for example, you:

I want to take this opportunity to thank you profusely for all your work, time and support in steering me through this process. I have felt very confident that I was in good hands from the outset and appreciated your patience and proactivity in seeking out an alternative provider when the original lender turned me down.
We are completed impressed with the professionalism of Capital Financial Services and their outstanding service.
Colin & Chrissy were extremely helpful in assisting us in arranging our first mortgage. As daunted first time buyers who knew nothing about the process, it made things much easier having them there along the way to answer questions, arrange everything we needed and deal with much of the paperwork on our behalf. They always got back to us promptly and took the time to explain what we needed to do and why. They made the process so much easier for us, so many thanks to them both! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
Colin and the team at CFS arranged our mortgage and life cover. They did an excellent job of talking us through the different options available and explained everything thoroughly, so we fully understood our obligations before proceeding. They were courteous and helpful at all times and we will definitely use them again.
We didn’t fully understand the implications of Inheritance tax, which Colin explained to our family in an easy to understand manner. As a result, we are now secure in the knowledge that the family estate is protected.
After the birth of our first child, we decided to review our finances and contacted Capital Finances Services for independent advice. They were brilliant in advising us on what our priorities should be. It really put everything into perspective and has made us much more aware of our finances. We started with protection plans for our family and are about to make some ISA investments. The fact that the advice was independent really made a difference as the options are much greater and we are comfortable that we have the right plans in place for our needs.
