What Is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax levied on the profit made when you sell or dispose of an asset that has increased in value. It is not the total amount received but the gain that is taxable. Common taxable assets include:

  • Property (excluding your primary residence, subject to conditions)
  • Shares and other investments
  • Business assets
  • Valuable items such as antiques or artwork

Understanding the rules and exemptions surrounding CGT is crucial to minimizing your tax liability. This is where our expertise at Naail & Co can make all the difference.
