Capital Gains Tax Advice
Capital gains tax is a tax on the increase in value of an asset. It can arise on a gift or a disposal of a chargeable asset including land and buildings, shares and unit trusts, business assets, expensive jewellery, paintings and antiques.
Capital gains tax liabilities can be mitigated through tax planning activities such as:
- Use of the annual capital gains tax exemption. (For jointly owned assets, both spouses/civil partners will each have the annual exemption available)
- Transfers between husband and wife/civil partners
- Private principal residence relief, as in general there is no capital gains tax on the sale of your main home provided the qualifying conditions are met
- Letting relief
- Entrepreneurs' relief on business assets
- Holdover relief
- Rollover relief
- Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) deferral relief
- Trust fund management
