Following the recent budget announcement on or after the 6th April 2008, a new single rate of charge to CGT at 18% will apply. A number of changes have been made including the removal of the taper relief but the Annual Exempt amount [AEM] will remain. The current level for 2007-08 is £9200 for individuals.

 

DBF Associates are pleased to announce that we can now provide you with a Capital Gains Tax [CGT] strategy for sole traders and partnership. If your business is worth £100,000 or more, it may be worth changing your status to a 'limited' company. The overall result will be to reduce the tax bill for you and your business - see illustration below.
